| Iraqi National Police rescued an infant girl from a garbage receptacle in the southwestern portion of the nation’s capital July 25 after terrorists shot and killed the child’s mother and uncle. The child was discovered in the trash by troops from the 1st Battalion, 2nd Brigade, 1st National Police Division after residents reported that a woman and man were shot and killed by masked gunmen in the Saydiyah neighborhood of West Rashid. The child was immediately taken by police to the nearest joint security station where medics treated her wounds. “You can see bruises on her back from the hand that squeezed her ribs as he carried her,” said Lt. Col. M. Troy Bentley, 2-1 National Police transition team chief. |
