Saddam Hussein. Before being a victim of his own success, Saddam Hussein was the fifth President of Iraq.

Osama bin Laden. Before being a victim of his own success, Osama bin Laden was the founder of al-Qaeda, the militant Islamist organization that claimed responsibility for the September 11 attacks on the United States, along with numerous other mass-casualty attacks against civilian and military targets.
