Iraqi paralympics table tennis athlete Najla Imad, exercises at the Al-Mawaheb Club premises in Baqubah, on February 26, 2024. When car bomb survivor Najlah Imad first took up table tennis, her relatives warned against it. But a decade later, the Iraqi teenager who lost three limbs is gunning for gold at the 2024 Paralympic Games. Najlah was just three years old when a 2008 sticky bomb ripped into her father's car -- an ex-military-- in the city of Baquba northeast of Baghdad.
