ATTMEPTED HONOR KILLING DOES NOT FLY IN WASHINGTON STATE

By Bob Walsh

Bystanders were able to pry the girl free after she lost consciousness.

 

Ihsan Ali and Zahraa Ali are facing attempted murder charges for attempting to kill their 17-year old daughter.  The assault took place in front of her school and was in part recorded.  The cops think this was an attempted "honor killing" because the young lady did not want to marry a much older man from Iraq.  The fact that the father also attacked her local boyfriend at Timberline High School in Lacey tends to support that notion.

The girl went to the school staff that she used to attend one month ago to get help.  This pissed off the parents.  Daddy choked her until she passed out and then fought with the boyfriend when he dove in to help.  Mommy also tried to choke her out.  School staff broke the situation up, thinking at first it was a student fight.  

The parents are being charged with attempted murder among other things.  One of those other things is violation of a protection order so clearly there was some history here.  The articles I read on this do not mention where the girl is now but is presumably no longer living at home.
