BAGHDAD, Iraq - An Iraqi
tennis coach and two of his
players were shot to death
this week
in Baghdad because
they were wearing shorts,
authorities said Saturday,
reporting the latest in
a
series of recent attacks
attributed to Islamic
extremists.
The existence of her child was all the evidence
the judge needed.

At the age of 5, Malika Oufkir, eldest daughter of
General
Oufkir, was adopted by King Muhammad V of Morocco and
sent to live in the palace as part of the royal court.
There
she led a life of unimaginable privilege and luxury
alongside
the king's own daughter. King Hassan II ascended the
throne
following Muhammad V's death, and in 1972 General Oufkir
was found guilty of treason after staging a coup against
the
new regime, and was summarily executed. Immediately
afterward, Malika, her mother, and her five siblings
were
arrested and imprisoned, despite having no prior
knowledge of the coup attempt.
They were first held in an abandoned fort, where they
ate moderately well and were allowed to
keep some of their fine clothing and books. Conditions
steadily deteriorated, and the family was
eventually transferred to a remote desert prison, where
they suffered a decade of solitary
confinement, torture, starvation, and the complete
absence of sunlight. Oufkir's horrifying
descriptions of the conditions are mesmerizing,
particularly when contrasted with her earlier
life in the royal court, and many graphic images will
long haunt readers. Finally, teetering on
the edge of madness and aware that they had been left to
die, Oufkir and her siblings
managed to tunnel out using their bare hands and
teaspoons, only to be caught days later.
Her account of their final flight to freedom makes for
breathtaking reading. Stolen Lives
is a remarkable book of unfathomable deprivation and the
power of the human will to survive.
