A US-led coalition launched a military operation against Hussein's government in March, 2003. According to the American leadership, the invasion, dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by the United States, aimed to eliminate weapons of mass destruction believed to have been held by the late Iraqi leader. The subsequent Iraq War claimed the lives of more than 100,000 civilians between 2003 and 2011, according to the Iraq Body Count database.
In October, 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Islamic State extremists, who have ceased vast areas in Iraq and Syria, could be drawing power from former activists from Saddam Hussein's Baath Party.
