PHOENIX -An Iraqi immigrant accused of killing his daughter because she had become too Westernized has pleaded not guilty in a Phoenix court.
Faleh Hassan Almaleki pleaded not guilty Monday to two counts of aggravated assault. Prosecutors are expected to issue harsher charges now that his daughter has died.
Peoria police say Almaleki ran down his daughter and her boyfriend's mother on Oct. 20 with his Jeep. Noor Faleh Almaleki died about two weeks later. The other woman survived.
Almaleki fled the country after the attack, but was stopped at a London airport and sent back to the U.S.
Monday's hearing had been delayed twice because Almaleki was on suicide watch in jail.
??Narrow-minded and anti-immigrant?? On the contrary, if an "immigrant" doesn't want to conform to our ideas of morality and proper behavior, why don't they just stay in their own country? While I support anyone maintaining their traditions and customs and language in their own family, I refuse to accept that killing your own child is acceptable merely because "that's how they did it in the old country". If you want to live in the USA then you need to accept living by our rules and laws, the same as we would be expected to do if we moved to another country...what's so unfair about that?
GOTCHA!
It's time to send these foreigners a message that we have rules & regulations here in the US. If they don't like it, go back to the crap hole you were hatched in & take your family & anyone with your values with you.
