BABAKOT, Pakistan – In a tangle of bushes and trees outside a remote village in southwest Pakistan, six close male relatives of three teenage girls dug a 4-foot wide by 6-foot deep ditch, on a sweltering night in mid-July, and allegedly buried the girls alive.

I think I have seen that tagline this week!!
Only problem,....I think it was on the “Lipstick Thread”!!!
....(1500+ posts, and as long as it took me to make it through it origionally, my wife thinks that in this attempt to find that tagline, that the rapture will beat me to the end of the thread. )

By NBC News’ Shahid Qazi and Carol Grisanti Saarang Mastoi is the local journalist who broke the story.
Get used to these "honor killings" (butchery), we'll see them every few days.
