Sad, sad news tonight. Following up on the previous story about an Iraqi girl in Peoria, Arizona who was run over by her father because she was “too Westernised,” AP reports this evening that she has passed away,
A 20-year-old woman from Iraq whose father allegedly hit her with his car because she had become too Westernized has died from her injuries, authorities said.
Noor Faleh Almaleki had been in a local hospital since Oct. 20, when police say her father ran down her and her boyfriend’s mother with his Jeep as the women were walking across a parking lot in the west Phoenix suburb of Peoria.
Peoria police spokesman Mike Tellef said Noor died Monday. The other woman, Amal Khalaf, is expected to survive.
Family members said Faleh Hassan Almaleki believed his daughter had become too Westernized and was not living according to his traditional Iraqi values.
Faleh Almaleki fled after the attack but was arrested Thursday when he arrived at Atlanta’s airport, where he was sent from the United Kingdom after authorities denied him entrance.
Lampposts and rope were invented so as to deal with animals like this guy.
