Iraqi kills his daughter 'for planning al-Qaida suicide attack'

An Iraqi has killed his 19-year-old daughter after discovering al-Qaida had recruited her as a suicide bomber, police say.

Security forces raided the man’s house in the former Sunni-insurgent stronghold of Baqouba north of Baghdad in search of the girl on suspicion she had ties to al-Qaida but did not find her.
