Tonight on World News, ABC’s Bob Woodruff updates the story of Omar, an Iraqi translator who helped save Woodruff’s life after the anchor was wounded in a roadside attack. Omar had been working with the US military, but later fled to Syria as a refugee.

In June, Woodruff tracked down Omar in Syria, for a series of reports about the exodus of Iraqi refugees to neighboring countries. Well, Omar recently arrived in the U.S. on a special immigrant visa that grants him permanent residency.
