First Attempt Didn't Go Through

Rana and Ra'ef made it to Baghdad safe. They couldn't leave untill 10 in the morning today, when they called me to say that they couldn't cross the Jordanian borders during the night. Rana called my brother Khalid in Baghdad this evening saying that they couldn't make it to Fallujah, and that she'll tell us the details later. I tried to go and ask some Iraqi drivers working on the Baghdad-Amman line whether the highway of Fallujah is still closed, and they said no one can reach to either Fallujah or Ramadi due to the US siege. Drivers are taking an alternative way called "theraa` Dijlah" that takes them northern to the highway then back to it after Ramadi.

My family will try their best to send the First Batch tomorrow.
