Female Pakistani Singer Killed by Her Brothers
PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Ayman Udas, a rising female vocalist in Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province, was shot at her home, allegedly by her own brothers.Her death has rattled the city's jittery artistic community, as local musicians and dancers in Peshawar -- a city renowned for its vibrant artistic life -- face increasing pressure as the region falls under greater Taliban influence. Some attributed Udas's death to the Islamist militants, but her husband told reporters that his wife was killed because she broke family tradition. these two statements are not contradictory Posted by: lord garth 2009-05-01 |
