Her father, Faleh Hassan Almaleki, feared that her American upbringing had led her to abandon traditional Iraqi values. He opposed the way she dressed and the way she resisted his rules. So on October 20th, he ran over her and another woman, Amal Khalaf, in his Jeep Grand Cherokee as they walked across a parking lot. Khalaf — who is the daughter’s roommate and the mother of her boyfriend — survived, but the daughter died tonight in the hospital. Her father is in police custody now after a failed attempt to escape to the UK via Mexico.
