Hope from tragedy
Remember Ali Abbas, who lost his arms in the U.S. bombing of Baghdad? He was a sad reminder of how even a 'surgical strike' has innocent victims. After evacuation and healing in Kuwait, he was taken to the UK for rehabilitation. A year and a half later, and despite being fitted with artificial arms, He's painting pictures with his feet. More on Ali from the Limbless Association. posted by liz at 5:27 PM
