Google Translate is now quite good at translating.
American soldiers often watched Abir as she went about her business and tended the garden. Neighbors warned Abir's father about this, but he replied that it was not a problem, as she was just a little girl.
Abir's brother, Muhammad (who survived along with his younger brother, who was at school at the time of the murder), recalls that the soldiers often searched the house. And on one of these occasions, PFC Steven Dale Green ran his index finger along Abir's cheek, an action that terrified the 14-year-old girl.
Abir's mother told her relatives before the murder that when she caught the soldiers watching Abir, they would give her a thumbs-up, pointing at her daughter and saying, "Very good, very good."
Neighbors were among the first on the scene. One recalled, "The poor girl, she was so beautiful. She was lying there, one leg stretched out and the other bent, and her dress was pulled up around her neck."
