Diversity is Our Strength: 2nd Doctor Arrested for Female Genital Mutilation

Fox 2 Detroit reports:

       A second doctor has been arrested in connection with a female genital mutilation investigation in Detroit. 

       Fakhruddin Attar, 53, and his wife, Farida Attar, 50, of Livonia, were both arrested and have been charged with conspiring to perform female genital mutilations on minor girls out of Dr. Attar's medical clinic in Livonia. 

       Both husband and wife were arrested Friday morning and are due in court later this afternoon. 

       Authorities say Dr. Attar owned Burhani Medical Clinic in Livonia, which is where a Detroit emergency room doctor who was arrested last week is accused of performing FGM on minor girls. Authorities say Dr. Attar's wife is employed at Burhani Medical Clinic as an office manager. Authorities believe the husband and wife arranged and assisted in the FGM procedures performed by the Detroit doctor, Dr. Jumana Nagarwala.
