Local lawyer Harvey Strosberg has filed a $5-million civil lawsuit on behalf of a Windsor woman who has not seen two of her children in more than two years after their father flew them out of the country to Lebanon.
Khawla Khalifa, 34, has been in the midst of lengthy divorce proceedings with her former husband Achraf Zeidan.
Sometimes, it requires a little patience to reveal the truth.

A 30-year health-care partnership between Saskatchewan and Mozambique has yielded a key tool to helping the south African nation in its fight against COVID-19.
The first COVID-19 testing lab in the province of Inhambane started processing samples this week. Until now, tests had to be sent away to the national capital of Maputo.
