===============================================================
quote:
"Uday is known to have used a body double named Latif Yahia. Being from a well-off family, Yahia was sent to the best school in Iraq, and it was at one of those that he first crossed paths with Uday. Even then, his resemblance to Uday was something that was apparent as Yahia's classmates would point out. Years later, during the Iran-Iraq war, Yahia was a captain on the front when he was pulled out by Iraqi intelligence and forced to become Uday's fiday or body double via threats to his family. Yahia was then made to undergo training and cosmetic surgery (including dental) in order for him to resemble Uday more.[8] Yahia's account has been questioned by journalists including the Guardian's Eoin Butler[9], and the BBC's Stephen Sackur.[10] After allegedly surviving 11 assassination attempts targeted at Uday, Yahia successfully fled Iraq in December 1991.[citation needed] Uday had his father picked up and poisoned in retribution.[8] Yahia wrote a book detailing his life and the life he lived as Uday's body double in his book The Devil's Double. A movie of the same name was filmed in Malta and Jordan"
