The 1990 testimony of a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl claiming Iraqi soldiers removed babies from incubators is revisited as a confirmed fabrication. Investigative reporting by the CBC's Fifth Estate revealed the girl was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador and had been coached by the PR firm Hill & Knowlton. This deception is cited as a primary driver for shifting American public opinion in favor of the first Gulf War.
