Omar’s First Dispatch - Adhamiya Bombing

"[Editor’s note: Omar worked with Alive in Baghdad last fall, as our translator, fixer, and all around good guy. Now he’s shooting video for us in Baghdad, we’re looking forward to the first delivery of tapes later this week. He’s going to begin doing regular dispatches as well about his experiences on the beat.]

Today I was in Adhameya for a gallery opening, to interview artists and show some of the different things happening here. Even in Baghdad, in the midst of the war, we have an art gallery opening!"
