Khairallah Talfah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Khairallah Talfah (Arabic خير الله طلفاح) was an Iraqi Ba'ath Party official, and the maternal uncle and father-in-law of Saddam Hussein. He was the father of Sajida Talfah, Saddam's first wife, and of Adnan Khairallah, defense minister. Saddam made Khairallah Talfah mayor of Baghdad, but was forced to remove him due to Talfah's corruption^{[citation needed]}.

Talfah is the author of Three Whom God Should Not Have Created: Persians, Jews, and Flies.
