By The IRC
The Fox News Channel reported Feb. 10 on its evening news report about the IRC's role in the resettlement in the United States of four Iraqi refugees who form Acrassicauda, the heavy metal rock band from Iraq. The piece included an interview with Kelly Barajas, director of the New York resettlement office. A radio version of the story by correspondent Laura Ingle aired on KFI-AM 640 in Los Angeles and Newstalk 1530 KFBK-AM in Sacramento and was made available to 600 other stations nationally. Ingle also reported on the story on her blog.
