A federal judge in Detroit has dismissed one of several charges against two doctors in connection with a female genital mutilation case. Two of the girls Nagarwala is accused of cutting at Attar's clinic were from Minnesota. Female genital mutilation, also known as female circumcision or cutting, or FGM, has been condemned by the United Nations and outlawed in the United States. The two Minnesota girls were brought to Michigan by their mothers, who are also charged in the case. A grand in Michigan indicted Nagarwala, Attar and Attar's wife, Farida, on charges including female genital mutilation and conspiracy.
