nypost.com

An Iraqi father, Ihsan Ali, has been charged with attempting to "honor kill" his 17-year-old daughter outside Timberline High School in Washington. Bodycam footage shows him more concerned about his car than the incident as he was arrested. Ali allegedly choked his daughter and attacked her boyfriend after she refused an arranged marriage. The girl had previously sought help from school staff, prompting her parents to confront her, which led to the violent altercation. Both Ali and his wife, Zahraa, face charges of attempted murder, attempted kidnapping, and assault. The girl's boyfriend's family has reported ongoing issues with the Alis, including a prior physical altercation.
