9. Ah, thank you--they look a lot alike, down to the haircuts.

I actually do think this was a crime of hate--only the poor victim was related to her hater. Many people in the local community are feeling the same way.

The husband knows an awful lot about the wife's wounds, and he gave a rather rambling interview in Iraq where he said that he was told that the house was targeted--before they moved in--by people who hate Arabs, and that the landlord warned them about bad people in the neighborhood.

All I can say is, well, why move in, then? Why not choose another house? In Iraq, where housing is still hard to come by in specific areas, I can see taking the first piece of crap you can get, but in USA? Hmmm. I think the husband was targeting his remarks to a specific audience, and didn't realize that this is the 21st Century. Translation is possible. YOUTUBE is everywhere, even if everyone doesn't have the Dish Arab Package. The internet can carry one's words around the globe in an instant. Also, the neighbors characterize the neighborhood as safe and quiet, and there hasn't been much crime in the area in the past year.

Anything's possible, but the whole scenario stinks. I will say if it was the husband, or the daughter, that they've got a lotta brass, going back to Iraq to bury the woman and look her cleric father in the eye.
