Angelina Jolie Hits Back At 'Grandmother' Reports  7/18/05

Angelina Jolie has hit back at reports her newly adopted daughter Zahara Marley was taken from her grandmother - she insists the woman has fabricated the story. 

The Tomb Raider beauty, who adopted the six-month-old baby in Ethiopia earlier this month (Jul05), was infuriated by a recent tabloid report which showed a photograph of a woman identified as the child's grandmother. 

Almaz Blfnhe, 45, has told how she had toiled to care for the baby for four months after her daughter Mentewabe died from complications in childbirth, but eventually accepted she was too poor to look after her. 

But in a statement given to People magazine, Wild Horizons For Children, the organization through which Jolie adopted the baby, say, "The photo is not the woman who they claim it is and the quotes are fabricated."

 Zahara has no living siblings, according to sources. Her father is unknown, and it is assumed that her mother died of AIDS a month after Zahara was born
