Here is a quote from the book:
They killed Shabana on a bitterly cold night in January 2009. She lived in Banr Bazaar, a narrow street in our town of Mingora which is famous for its dancers and musicians. Shabana’s father said a group of men had knocked at her door and asked her to dance for them. She went to put on her dancingclothes, and when she returned to dance for them, they pulled out their guns and threatened to slit her throat. This happened after the 9 p.m. curfew and people heard her screaming, ‘I promise I’ll stop! I promise I won’t sing and dance again. Leave me, for God’s sake! I am a woman, a Muslim. Don’t kill me!’ Then shots rang out and her bullet-ridden body was dragged to Green Chowk. So many bodies had been left there that people started calling it the Bloody Square.We heard about Shabana’s death the next morning.pg 77

She was killed because the Talibans told her to dance for them and when Shabana finished puting her cloth she was shot.

Shabana is a young Pakistan lady who enjoyed singing and dancing. She was shot several of times by the Taliban on January 2009 and ditched in the Bloody Square at 9pm. "Shabana's father said a group of men knocked on her door and asked to dance for them. She went to put on her dancing clothes, and when she returned to dance for them, they pulled out their guns and threatened to slit her throat." Shabana father said she had a group of men knock on her door and asked her to dance, when females are prohibited to dance or sing as that is why when she put her dancing clothes on and prepared she got shot several of times in the body and dumped. Shabana was killed on a cold bitterly night in Banr Bazaar where she lived. After she was killed her body was dumped at place where everyone is calling it the bloody square
