ok, she was shot in the hip or leg and lost consciousness. When she woke up she started screaming once she saw the dead bodies of the king and his family. A soldier, having realized she was still alive, came up to shoot her. His bullets had finished. Another soldier who was standing by him realized who she was. Her brother had helped him or a member of his family once. So he said to the other soldier why shoot her she only works in the palace. So her life was saved. (Hope that makes sense.) As for her husband he is his her cousin from both sides and therefore a member of the Al Rabiaa' tribe which is a prominent tribe from the south of Iraq
