I have been following this girl's story on Pakistani news channels . She is an afghan girl and was brought on Bolan hospital by her parents where they left her from there she was shifted in SOS village. She has been living in SOS village and now a US Charity is funding her treatment in USA. It has never been mentioned that she was a victim of a drone attack .

A good initiative though. Shakira is lucky to be considered for this operation after having gone through such an ordeal.

Is there a reason that this girl is being called disgraced? I hope thats a mistake by either CNN or OP.

I saw her some time back in a tv show in SOS village...such a beautiful smile she has, mA, so magnetic. It's so tragic what she went through. I hope and pray that she finds nothing but happiness in her years to come.
