Iraqi car bomb survivor eyes gold in Paris Paralympics
Iraqi paralympics table tennis athlete Najlah Imad, displays her medals at her house in Baqubah, on February 26, 2024. When car bomb survivor Najlah Imad first took up table tennis, her relatives warned against it. But a decade later, the Iraqi teenager who lost three limbs is gunning for gold at the 2024 Paralympic Games. Najlah was just three years old when a 2008 sticky bomb ripped into her father’s car -- an ex-military-- in the city of Baquba northeast of Baghdad. (Photo by Ahmad AL-RUBAYE / AFP)
