KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) - Police in Pakistan have arrested the father and brother of an Italian woman of Pakistani descent strangled in a suspected honour killing, police said on Thursday.

Rights groups say hundreds of women and girls are killed in Pakistan each year by family members angered at perceived damage to their "honour", which may involve eloping, fraternizing with men or any infringement of conservative values regarding women.
