Kabul: Two-month-old baby Sohail Ahmed, who went missing at the airport when US forces withdrew from Afghanistan, has been reunited with his family.
Mirza Ali Ahmed, a security guard at the US embassy in Afghanistan, and his wife Suraya flew to Kabul airport in August last year to leave Afghanistan with their four children, including their son Sohail Ahmed.
Mirza Ali, who thought the boy Sohail Ahmed would be crushed in the crowd as he approached the airport gate, handed him over to an army soldier and asked him to bring him inside the airport. But when he went to the airport and searched for his son, he was not found.
But Mirza Ali left for the United States with his family after authorities said the boy would be returned to his parents.
Meanwhile, taxi driver Harid Sabi, who had gone to the airport when Mirza Ali left Kabul airport, had taken the boy Sohail Ahmed and started raising him.
Upon learning of this, the Red Cross handed over the child, Sohail Ahmed, to his grandfather, who lives in Afghanistan.
