Iraqi dad says killed daughter linked to al-Qaida

BAGHDAD – When police came hunting for a 19-year-old woman they believed had been recruited by al-Qaida to be a suicide bomber in a town north of Baghdad, they found she was already dead: Slain by her father, who told police he strangled his daughter out of shame and then cut her throat.

The killing of Shahlaa al-Anbaky, reported by police Friday, appeared to be from an unusual melding of motives — part to defend the family honor, part to prevent her from joining the militants. But how much of each weighed in her father's mind remains unclear, with police still investigating the detail

Wow what a bizzare twist to the honor killing thing!

I dont condone honor killings at all, but I have mixed feelings about this, Im glad that she wasnt allowed to kill masses of people as a suicide bomber,

But the thought of a father strangling his own daughter to death and then cutting her throat makes my stomach turn..

Very mixed emotions on this story

thoughts are welcome!
