SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFPN) -- Baby Noor's grandmother and father take the infant, who has spina bifeda, from a 386th Air Expeditionary Wing C-130 Hercules to awaiting transportation. Officials from the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait met the family and escorted them to a civilian airport, from where the Iraqi family will continue their journey to the United States.

Prayer heavenward for baby Noor.

I believe that "Noor" means "light." Let us hope that the magnanimity of the US military and the American people will be a light to the people of Iraq and to their religion.

FNC followed the story for quite a while today. There was a soldier holding the baby and giving her her bottle. I melted right into the floor.

I remember other articles on Baby Noor. It was the granny who boldly approached the guardsmen with the child while the rest of the family was cowering in a corner as they searched the house. Judging from the photo she's definitely the one who wears the pants in THAT family.

Where is the baby's mother? Anyone know? I didn't hear anything about her in this today.
To: SandRat
Baby Noor is now on a Delta flight from Frankfurt to Atlanta, arriving this afternoon.
The grandmother asked how cold Atlanta was. Well, we're having a lovely day, high near 60. The grandmother will not have to worry about being cold.
