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.

  • this is a brilliant song,1 of my favs im bukt in to get the lyrics tatood on my leg this sat.what a legend im 24 an havn mist a concert of his in ireland 4 as long as i can remember

  • 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:)

    May Saffar
