  Iraq Teen Killed for Befriending UK Soldier


A 17-year-old Iraqi girl was murdered in an 'honour killing' after she formed a friendship with a British soldier in Basra. Rand Abdel-Qader was suffocated and then hacked at with a knife by her father, who was arrested but released without charge. The teenager met the 22-year-old soldier when she was working on an aid project for displaced families. Her mother has divorced her father since the killing.

Yes, it doesn't go more barbaric than that. It's more personal than slaughtering young girls from the air like the US Air Force. Then again, the USAF kills many more than fathers do.
