Baby lost during Taliban siege of Afghanistan reunited with family four months later
Ababy who was handed over to US soldiers over an Afghanistan airport wall amid the Taliban takeover of the country was finally reunited with his family over four months later, according to reports.
As thousands of people attempted to flee Afghanistan at the Kabul airport, a baby, identified as Sohail Ahmadi, was given to soldiers as the parents attempted to gain entrance into the airport on Aug. 19, according to Reuters. However, the parents waited around 30 minutes before getting into the airport. By the time they got in, they said their baby, who was 2-months-old at the time, could not be found and were told the baby may have been put on another flight.
Mirza Ali Ahmadi, the baby's father and former security guard at the U.S. embassy, wound up at a military base in Texas alongside his wife, Suraya, and their four other children. They had no answers for where their baby boy was.
But after Reuters initially reported the story in November, the outlet said people in Kabul recognized the baby with 29-year-old taxi driver Hamid Safi.
