Iraqi boy to arrive in Japan on Friday for eye treatment

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Mohamad Haytham Saleh (L), who stands with his father in this photo taken on May 30, will come to Japan on June 4 for eye treatment. Mohamad was originally scheduled to visit Japan on June 1, but the killing of his sponsors -- freelance journalists Shinsuke Hashida and Kotaro Ogawa -- threw his departure into disarray.
