Mustafa, baby Karm, and Zina

In People magazine, Art Harris reports on an Iraqi doctor's desperate struggle to obtain a U.S. visa so he can take his baby son from Baghdad to Houston for treatment for the boy's palsy, which has crippled his right arm. A Houston doctor who says the palsy can be cured has offered free treatment for baby Karm, but the boy's father has yet to be able to obtain a U.S. visa for the trip. A PDF of the People magazine story is here: mustafa_people_pdf_1.pdf.

Art Harris's Web site provides more, including videos of Baby Karm and his parents.
