Father Allegedly Ran Over Daughter for Being Too "Westernized"

Two women remain hospitalized after one of the women's father ran them over with his car.

Police in Peoria, Arizona are searching for an Iraqi man who supposedly ran over his own daughter because he felt she was acting too "Westernized."

According to police, Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, allegedly ran over his 20-year-old daughter, Noor Faleh Almaleki, and her friend, Amal Edan Khalaf, in a parking lot on October 20.

Police believe Almaleki's motive for running his daughter over is that she has become too Westernized, and that she has not been living according traditional Iraqi values.

Noor Almaleki remains in the hospital with life-altering injuries.  Khalaf remains hospitalized as well, but with non-life threatening injuries.

At this time, Faleh Almaleki remains at large.  He was last seen driving a silver or gray Jeep Grand Cherokee.  The police are asking anyone with more information to please come forward.

If found, Almaleki stands to face a number of serious charges, including hit and run, aggravated assault, and even attempted murder.
