Iraqi Blogger Riverbend to Flee Iraq

HeadlineMay 01, 2007

In other Iraq news, one of the country’s best-known bloggers has announced that she and her family have decided to flee the country. The blogger known as Riverbend has been writing about the U.S. occupation on her blog, “Baghdad Burning,” since August 2003. In her latest post, Riverbend writes: “It’s difficult to decide which is more frightening–car bombs and militias, or having to leave everything you know and love, to some unspecified place for a future where nothing is certain.”
