[Baghdad-where]

A woman from Bangladesh stunned doctors after giving birth to healthy twins 26 days after she was born prematurely.

Ariva Sultana, 20, gave birth to a child last month through a normal birth, but doctors did not notice a second pregnancy.

"She did not know that she still had twins," said Sheila Budir, a female doctor who treated the woman, who, 26 days after her first baby, rushed to us after feeling labor.

Last Friday, Bodier conducted an emergency cesarean section to generate twins, a boy and a girl. The woman, who lives in the southwestern province of Jessore, was allowed to return home with her three children on Tuesday.

"I have not seen a similar situation in my career for more than 30 years," said provincial doctor Dileep Roy. Sultana, who lives in a poor family, expressed her happiness with the three children but was concerned about the costs of raising them.

She said her husband is a worker whose monthly salary does not exceed $ 70. "It's a miracle for God to have all my children in good health," said her husband Somon Biswas. "I will do the impossible to keep them happy."

A newspaper reveals how Baghdadi deals with modern technology to hide his place
March 28, 2019
The leader of the terrorist group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is avoiding modern electronic devices so as not to reveal his hiding place, the US Wall Street Journal said yesterday.

Iraqi security expert Saeed al-Jayashi told the newspaper that al-Baghdadi does not use a mobile phone or a computer, and resort exclusively to some people to inform them of the orders and instructions, and this makes catching it complicated.

In the view of US Army Gen. Joseph Fotil, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi should not be given much attention, instead of focusing on individuals, the entire system must be targeted.

A leader of the Kurdish People's Protection Unit said last Sunday that his forces had not found the leader of the Da'sh organization and the organization's leaders in the town of Baguoz after being freed from the terrorists' hands.

The spokesman of the Kurdish units Nuri Mahmoud, that "the forces of Syria's democratic, which form the Kurdish units backbone liberated the town of Al-Bagouz, and announced the end of the organization of Dahed," noting that "the leader of the terrorist organization and its leaders were not found in the town, Media.
