Baby Noor goes back to Iraq

Cox News Service:

The Iraqi baby who was rescued by Georgia soldiers and then melted hearts around the world returned home from Atlanta on Wednesday.

Baby Noor, discovered by soldiers of the Georgia Army National Guard's 48th Brigade Combat Team and brought to Georgia for life-saving medical care, was delivered to her home in Abu Ghraib by the U.S. Army.

Noor spent six months in Atlanta with two host families while undergoing surgery for a severe birth defect and receiving follow-up treatment.

U.S. military officials took Noor's grandmother, Soad, to meet the baby in Kuwait and flew them both back to the Baghdad airport.

From there, Noor was escorted in pre-dawn darkness by soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division's 2-22 Infantry Battalion back to eastern Abu Ghraib, the unit's public affairs officer, 1st Lt. Kristofer Deniger said in a telephone interview from Baghdad.

There is more. The baby will have a chance now and supplies were sent along to help Iraqi doctors continue her treatments.
