School’s in

It’s Saturday, 7.00 am in Baghdad. 5 million kids all over Iraq will hopefully be safe when going back to school today. Think of them.

Azhar al-Azzawi says her two nephews, aged 8 and 11, are very excited about going back to school and seeing their friends again.

“Their father doesn’t want to disappoint them and will send them to school as planned but he will spend the entire day waiting in his car in front of the school,” she said.

IHT unsure if it’s today or two weeks away, but first article would indicate it is definitely today.
