Christian missionary killed in Mexican 'drug no-man's land'

An American missionary, Nancy Davis, 59, was tragically killed in an area of Mexico's Tamaulipas state known as a "drug no-man's land" on Wednesday. Sam Davis, Nancy's husband, tried to rush Davis over the U.S. border to be treated after she was shot. However, she later died.

State Attorney General spokesman Ruben Dario Lopez stated that Mexican authorities will not be looking into the murder because the missionary died in the United States. Sam and Nancy Davis worked in Mexico, serving the Lord, for three decades.

Father's 'honor killing' trial is set to begin in Arizona

It has been about 13 months since Noor Almaleki, 20, was allegedly struck and killed by a Jeep Laredo reportedly driven by her father, Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 50, in Phoenix, Arizona. In what is being claimed by prosecutors to be a case of an "honor killing" because his daughter was becoming too Westernized and defying Mulsim traditions, Faleh Hassan Almaleki, an Iraqi immigrant, faces life in prison, if convicted for his daughter's murder.

Though honor killings have been noted the world over, in countries such as Egypt, Iraq and Turkey, among others, officials say it is a relatively rare occurrence to see one happen in the United States. Nevertheless, it is being reported that Noor Almaleki had refused an arranged marriage by her family in favor of living with a boyfriend of her own choosing.
