Iraq Teen Killed for Befriending UK Soldier

A 17-year-old Iraqi girl was murdered in an 'honour killing' after she formed a friendship with a British soldier in Basra. Rand Abdel-Qader was suffocated and then hacked at with a knife by her father, who was arrested but released without charge. The teenager met the 22-year-old soldier when she was working on an aid project for displaced families. Her mother has divorced her father since the killing.
