Rafi ibn Abd al-Latif ibn Talfah (Arabic: رافع عبد اللطيف طلفاح التكريتي; born in 1954 in Tikrit) is the last head of the Iraqi Directorate of General Security secret police force at the end of President Saddam Hussein's reign. A maternal cousin of Saddam, Rafi went into hiding during the Iraq War, when a United States-led Coalition invaded the country and overthrew Saddam Hussein's government. A key aide to General al-Douri, Rafi al-Tikriti provided information and actionable intelligence on anti-regime individuals and opposition groups in each governorate of Iraq, particularly Kurdish, Iranian, and Turkmen.
