Description:: Atheer Nizar is a student in the medical school at the University of Mosul. He was born on the east bank of Mosul in 1995 and lived near Palestine Street. He is not married. His family lived in a small, nice house with two floors and a small gardent. It was not very old, about fifteen years old. He was living in this house with his married brother, father and mother in-law. His father used to take care of the house garden, and he always looked for new flowers to add to his collection. Atheer spent most of his time in his room playing video games. He went to a very special school in Mosul that accepted a limited number of students. Their teachers were all professors in the University of Mosul. His favorite memory at school is when they stayed up late at night at school to look at the moon and stars using telescopes.
