Police: Woman Run Down By Dad Dies

POSTED: 2:50 pm MST November 2, 2009
UPDATED: 5:53 pm MST November 2, 2009

A woman who police say was run over by her father on Oct. 20 has died, authorities said.

Noor Almaleki, 20, of Surprise, died around noon, said Mike Tellef of the Peoria Police Department. She had undergone spinal surgery.

Almaleki and her boyfriend’s mother were walking across a Peoria parking lot when they were struck, officers said.

The girl’s father, Faleh Almaleki, an Iraqi immigrant, was returned to Arizona Saturday to face aggravated assault charges.

Faleh Almaleki was arrested Thursday when he arrived at Atlanta's airport, sent from the United Kingdom after authorities denied him entrance. He was returned to the Phoenix-area city of Peoria, booked and taken to a county jail.

The other woman, Amal Khalaf, is in serious but stable condition, according to family members.

Police said the Almalekis moved to Peoria from Iraq in the mid-1990s.

Family members said Noor Almaleki had been living with her boyfriend and Khalaf, and Faleh Almaleki was upset that his daughter had become too "Westernized," had failed to live by traditional Muslim values and had disrespected the family.

After the incident, authorities said Almaleki went to Mexico. He eventually flew to London, but United Kingdom Port of Entry authorities denied him entry into the country.

They contacted U.S. authorities and Almaleki was put on a flight back to Atlanta, where he was arrested.
