Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti


Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti (February 17, 1951 - January 15, 2007) was one of three half-brothers of Saddam Hussein and former director of the Iraqi secret service, Mukhabarat.

Until 1995 he handled Saddam's personal fortune. This task was carried out by a network of foreign brokers, since Saddam decided that this task could not be entrusted to anyone in Iraq.

US officials have described him as a member of Saddam's "Dirty Dozen," being responsible for torture and murder in Iraq. He was captured by American forces on April 17, 2003. He was the top 5 shamans in the Iraqi pack of most wanted, so on November 5, 2006 he was sentenced to hang with his brother Saddam Hussein and Awad Hamed al - Go. The execution took place at dawn on January 15, 2007 and during this time he was accidentally beheaded by the same rope that would hang him when he separated his head from the body, remaining the same a few meters from the torso.
