Eight-year-old Razia sits for a portrait on Saturday, July 25, 2009 in a room at the Bagram Air Field Hospital in Bagram, Afghanistan. During a mortar exchange between a NATO force of French and U.S. troops; and Taliban militants last March, a white phosphorus munition fell on Rahman's home in eastern Kapisa province severely burning Razia's face and body and killing Rahman's other two children. Rahman's family are the first recorded civilian casualties caused by white phosphorus in Afghanistan. The NATO force and the Taliban both denied firing the white-hot chemical typically used to illuminate the night sky and expose an enemy. A Human Rights Watch official interviewed by Reuters about the attack said the Taliban was unlikely to have white phosphorus cached, while NATO used it more regularly.
