Assault Upgraded to an Honor Killing in Arizona: Iraqi Daughter Dies in Hospital

Twenty year old Iraqi woman dies in hospital after her Muslim father ran her down for "being too westernized."

From the Sidney Morning Herald:

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 on Monday. The other woman, Amal Khalaf, is expected to survive.
