		The Bijani sisters were lost in hospital in 1979 after the doctors responsible for them fled back to the United States during the Islamic revolution.
		Ladan wanted to be a lawyer, while Laleh wished to become a journalist; in the end, they settled on Ladan's choice.
		Laleh hoped that she could then move to Tehran, the capital city of Iran, to study journalism, while her sister continued with graduate studies in law and then move to Shiraz.

		SINGAPORE – Iranian twins Laleh and Ladan Bijani, joined at the head for 29 years, died within 90 minutes of each other Tuesday after doctors separated them but were unable to control their bleeding in the unprecedented surgery.
		And though the Ladan and Laleh's brains were separate, they had adhered to each other after years of growing and sharing the same skull.
		At one of the final points of the separation procedure, surgeons cut a finger-thick shared vein from Ladan – leaving her to rely on a similar sized vein taken from her right thigh that was grafted to her brain.
