Correspondent Reunites With Mosul Families That Sheltered Her From Ambush
ResumeIn November, CNN Special International Correspondent Arwa Damon (@arwaCNN) and her crew were traveling with Iraqi troops as the offensive to retake Mosul from ISIS was beginning. They got caught in an ambush and spent a terrifying 28 hours trapped in the city before they were able to escape.

Here & Now's Robin Young spoke with Damon in November, and she joins us again today to talk about the experience.
