An Arizona man from Iraq was in custody Friday, suspected of deliberately running over his daughter because had become "too Westernized," authorities said.

WGCL-TV, Atlanta, reported Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, of Glendale, Ariz., was arrested by U.S. marshals Thursday night at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.

The Peoria (Ariz.) Times reported family members and friends told Peoria police Almaleki ran over his daughter Noor, 20, Oct. 20 in a Peoria parking lot in an attempted honor killing.

Police said in a CNN report Almaleki was angry because his daughter was living with her boyfriend and "had become too Westernized and was not living according to ... traditional Iraqi values."

The newspaper said the daughter remained hospitalized in very critical condition.

Amal Khalef, 43, of Surprise, Ariz., the mother of the boyfriend, also was struck and was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, CNN reported.

Noor's brother, Peter-Ali Almaleki, told KPHO-TV in Phoenix last week tensions between the father and daughter began in the past two years.

"The people she's been living with is what triggered my dad's anger. She (Noor) is married to an Iraqi and lived with him in the Middle East until recently," Peter was quoted as saying. "After arriving in the U.S., she moved in with a new man and my father didn't approve.

"For a traditional Muslim family, that disrespect was the ultimate insult to my father."
