The Circle (Song for Layla Al-Attar and Los Olivadios)

On 26 June 1993, US warships launched a Tomahawk cruise missile attack on Baghdad in retaliation for an alleged April 1993 assassination attempt on George H.W. Bush in Kuwait. The attack killed 8 civilians, including the world-renowned artist Layla Al-Attar.

Ms Layla Al Attar was a one remarkable Iraqi artist. I was friends with two of her children (Zaineb and Haider.)

Layla was VERY beautiful and many women wanted to be Layla.

Her death is tragic and a loss of an Iraqi icon.

Many thanks for this heartwarming clip:)
