ARIZONA- An Iraqi-American father is at the center of an extensive man hunt. Police are looking for Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, last seen fleeing the Department of Economic Development parking lot in Peoria, AZ on Tuesday October 20, 2009.

Almaleki is accused of attempting to kill his 20 year old daughter and her boyfriend's mother by running over them with his silver 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee (license plate number ADS-9192).

Almaleki was attempting to punish his daughter for becoming "too Westernized" and rejecting the strict conservative Islamic ways he valued.

Noor Faleh Almaleki, the injured daughter, is in "life-threatening condition." Her boyfriend's mother, 43 year old Amal Edan Khalaf, is, also, in the hospital, but with only non-life threating injuries.

Noor Almaleki had backed out of an arranged marriage about a year ago and had been living with Khalaf and her son in a nearby town.

Anyone with any information should call Silent Witness or the Peoria Police Tip Line at 623-773-7045.
