Iraqi Artist Layla Al-Attar

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. The audio featured here is from a Democracy Now! commentary by Dennis Bernstein, broadcast on 20 February 1998. The text was later published in Salon as "Uncle Sam regrets," and it includes information gathered by Bernstein in an interview with Layla al-Attar's daughter, Rema. http://www.democracynow.org/1998/2/20... http://www.salon.com/news/1998/02/23n...
