Ali Abbas became an icon of the Iraq War when he lost his arms after an American missile hit his home during the bombing of Baghdad. Fourteen members of his family died in the attack. When images of him with arms amputated were beamed around the world, it sparked a tidal-wave of sympathy, and a charity fund was set up which brought him to Britain for treatment.
