Police in Arizona are searching for an Iraqi man they believe mowed down his daughter and a friend in a parking lot because she had become "too Westernized" and abandoned traditional Iraqi values. The daughter, 20, is in a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. Her friend has been hospitalized with less serious injuries, CNN reports. Friends and family say the father, 48, had previously threatened his daughter because of her lifestyle.
