A 17-year-old girl in Somalia -- who converted to Christianity from Islam -- was shot to death last week in an apparent "honor killing," according to the Christian Post website.
Nurta Mohamed Farah had left her parents' home to live with relatives, after her parents tortured her for leaving Islam. She died on November 25, 2010.
Area sources said they strongly suspected that the two unidentified men who shot her in the chest and head with a pistol were relatives or acting on her parents' request.
Relatives buried Farah. Her parents had severely beaten her for leaving Islam and regularly shackled her to a tree at their home, Christian sources said.
