Iraqi dad says killed daughter linked to al-Qaida

[pretender15]

I don't know who's worse, the terrorists or the dad.

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 details.

Al-Qaida has been recruiting women for suicide attacks because they can pass police checkpoints more easily than men by concealing explosives under an abaya, a loose, black cloak that conservative Muslim women wear. Suicide bombers have been al-Qaida's most lethal weapon in Iraq, killing hundreds of civilians and members of Iraq's security forces.

Very sad but that's prob the only way she was going to be stopped. Maybe he s/have turned her over to NATO.

OP beat me to this lol.

But honestly, the wannabe terrorist is obviously worse. Should the pops have turned her over to us or NATO? Yea....but now we know she'll never be able to hurt the innocent, or our boys.
