| Ashamed Iraqi man ‘killed his daughter, 19, after she was recruited as suicide bomber by Al-Qaeda’ |

| #7 If he had gotten his daughter arrested, he might shown up on al Qaeda's hit list. It should be easier to turn her in to the police. At least that way she wouldn't be put to death and he could go visit her. Kinda makes the police suspect now. This whole thing doesn't make any sense. Maybe she was some kind of old maid that nobody wanted? |

| #6 Well, if he had not murdered his daughter, he probably wouldn`t know what he would have done to her. |

| #5 It's kind of understandable. If he had gotten his daughter arrested, he might shown up on al Qaeda's hit list. As it is, the exposure of his act might land him on that hit list, anyway. Getting his daughter arrested also exposes his family to scrutiny from government agencies on this reasoning - what is this man teaching his family that they become suicide bombers? Given the highly-coercive tendencies of Middle Eastern security personnel, I'd have to say his actions are perfectly understandable. |

| #4 The father at first denied his daughter had any links to the terror group, but after further questioning admitted to killing her. He described it as an attempt to protect the familyÂ’s dignity and said his daughter had been recruited by al-Qaida to be a suicide bomber. Al-Anbaky then showed police his daughterÂ’s grave. Better check her DNA. Maybe the daughter is not dead. Make sure it is her. As Gorg said, maybe he just murdered her. |

| #2 Gorb, I think this is the story where the Iraqi authorities came to arrest the girl for being an Al Qaeda boomerette, but Daddy told them he'd killed her a month or so previously, to prevent her from deploying her new outfit. |

| #1 Maybe, but better check it out to make sure he didn't just murder her. |
