Green eyed girl found

Nearly two decades after National Geographic first put the haunting picture of an eleven-year-old green-eyed Afghan girl on its cover making it the most recognised photograph in its 114-year-history, the magazine has located her again in remote Afghanistan.

Sharbat Gula is now 29, married with three children, and lives with her family. She was first photographed in December 1984 by Geographic's acclaimed lensman Steve McCurry, an old India hand, in Pakistan's Nasir Bagh refugee camp. Her penetrating green eyes and poignant gaze has long intrigued the world and the photograph became a metaphor for unwanted refugees, particularly since she was never seen again.
