Wash. woman says acid attack won’t wreck her life

PORTLAND, Ore. — A 28-year-old Washington state woman who had acid thrown in her face says she will not let the attack wreck her life.

Bethany Storro, of Vancouver, Wash., said Thursday that the attack by an unknown woman caused the skin on her face to bubble and sizzle, and portions of her blouse to disintegrate.

Doctors at a hospital in Portland, Ore., performed surgery on her face Wednesday night, removing dead skin from the areas that were most deeply injured.

Storro says she has gotten letters and e-mails from people all over the country. She recently moved to Washington state from Idaho.

Police are seeking the woman in the attack.
