Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيره الصباح), called "Nurse Nayirah" in the
media, was a fifteen-year-old Kuwaiti girl, who alleged that she had
witnessed the murder of infant children by Iraqi soldiers in Kuwait, in
verbal testimony to the U.S. Congress, in the run up to the 1991 Gulf
War. Her testimony, which was regarded as credible at the time, has
since come to be regarded as wartime propaganda. The public relations
firm Hill & Knowlton, which was in the employ of Citizens for a Free
Kuwait, had arranged the testimony. Nayirah's testimony was widely
publicized. Hill & Knowlton, which had filmed the hearing, sent out a
video news release to Medialink, a firm which served about 700
television stations in the United States. That night, portions of the
testimony aired on ABC's Nightline and NBC Nightly News reaching an
estimated audience between 35 and 53 million Americans. Seven senators
cited Nayirah's testimony in their speeches backing the use of force.
President George Bush repeated the story at least ten times in the
following weeks.
