In Basra, Iraq, on March 16, 2008, Abdel-Qader Ali murdered his 17-year-old daughter Rand Abdel-Qader for falling in love with a British soldier. Rand was a student at Basra University where she was studying English. According to her closest friend she died a virgin. Ali was outraged when he heard his daughter had been talking to a British soldier. He stood on her throat until she stopped breathing. Rand’s mother called on her two sons to prevent the killing. Ali stabbed his daughter repeatedly. The sons instead of trying to restrain their father joined in the killing.
