Hussein was the of clubs in the coalition forces' | In the third attempt, the soldiers killed Qusay's only remaining 14-year-old son after he fired |
There were reports that Qusay Hussein's 14-year-old son Mustafa was the fourth body found.
13After about four hours of battle the whole operation lasted 6 hours , the soldiers entered the house and found four dead, including the two brothers and their bodyguard | The Iraqi government stated that the action was intended to produce usable farmland, though a number of outsiders believe the destruction was aimed against the Marsh Arabs as retribution for their participation in the 1991 uprising |

Unlike Uday, who was known for extravagance and erratic, violent behavior, Qusay kept a low profile so details regarding his actions and roles are obscure | Uday and Qusay Hussein refused to surrender even after a helicopter fired a rocket and the Strike Brigade fired 40mm grenades at them |
Had Saddam Hussein had 100 children, other than Uday and Qusay, Saddam Hussein would have sacrificed them on the same path.
