Mustapha Qusay Hussein al-Tikriti (1989-2003) was the son of Qusay Hussein, and grandson of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
On July 22 2003, 14-year old Mustapha was killed, along with his father Qusay and uncle Uday Hussein, during a raid by U.S. troops on a home in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. He was the last one to die. When U.S. forces entered the compound he was hiding beneath the bed (probably seriously wounded). Once U.S. forces entered, he began shooting and according to the official report, soldiers had to return the fire. But there are conflicting reports by the locals and the army to what really happened in the final moments.
