One More Reason For Hope

"An Iraqi Warrior is fighting for new life in America after an assassination ambush by insurgents riddled his body with a dozen bullets but failed to extinguish this soldier’s force of life. I’ve been paying close attention to this story for months, having heard many of the “behind the scenes” events that eventually led Iraqi Captain Furat to American soil. The following series of photographs was shot by Washington Times correspondent Maya Alleruzzo as the platoon of Iraqi soldiers with whom she was traveling was ambushed by insurgents in Baquba. The correspondent was covering the platoon as it patrolled that dangerous city in unarmored vehicles and without the benefit of US combat troop support."
