Iraqi boy gets new arm and leg - From Taiwan doctors
CROSS-CULTURAL HELP: A boy injured in the Iraq war has a new extendable leg, which he can use as he grows up, and will get an artificial hand fitted

STAFF REPORTER
Friday, Nov 07, 2003,Page 2

The maimed 12-year-old Iraqi boy who came to Taiwan for treatment in late October will get an artificial hand and leg, the hospital where he is being treated said yesterday.

Khaldon-Kh-Thiab lost his right hand and left foot in a US bombing raid during the recent war in Iraq. His right thumb remained intact but he has no fingers, and his left leg was amputated from the knee at an Iraqi hospital.

The Eden Social Welfare Foundation arranged for the boy and his father to come to Taiwan. He is scheduled to stay here for two months for treatment at the Far Eastern Memorial Hospital (亞東醫院)

2. Doesn't it want you to find the criminals who gave the orders and put
him, Bush, in jail?

I thought that's what America is about? Find the guilty no matter who they are and serve justice!
