There are claims she had been receiving death threats<\/h4>\n
\n

#TaraFares<\/a> had been receiving death threats regularly because she had been deemed against her religion. She never cared and continued posting photos on her instagram account. Yesterday, her car was ambushed and she was shot dead inside her car in Baghdad.https:\/\/t.co\/61odv1lVtD<\/a><\/p>\n

There are some disrespectful tweets but people aren’t standing for it<\/h4>\n

‘Disgraceful’<\/h4>\n
\n

I just couldn\u2019t believe the news, absolutely shocking and disgraceful, people who justify the killing of another innocent human being are just as cruel as the ones who committed the crime #tara_fares<\/a><\/p>\n

One of Iraq\u2019s most influential social media stars, model Tara Fares, has been shot dead in Baghdad earlier on Thursday. A post in Arabic just uploaded to her Instagram (after her killing was confirmed) reads \u201cwe belong to God & to Him we return\u201d – it calls her killer a \u201ccoward\u201d. pic.twitter.com\/CoJ7i3D8fg<\/a><\/p>\n
