Saddam Haftar (Arabic: صدام حفتر; born 1991) is a Libyan military officer and politician, and the son of Libyan warlord, Khalifa Haftar. He is the commander of the Tariq Ben Zeyad Brigade[1] and holds several other high positions in his father's Libyan National Arab Army. He frequently travels abroad to make diplomatic visits to Arab and foreign countries[2] and has been seen as the likely successor to his father.[3][4]
