An Egyptian man on trial for the murders of his daughters in what prosecutors call an 'honor killing' took the stand in his own defense Monday and claimed that he left the girls alive in his taxi and fled because he thought he was being followed and 'felt his life was in danger.'Yaser Said, 64, a taxi cab driver in , is accused of fatally shooting 17-year-old Sarah and 18-year-old Amina on New Years Day in 2008. Their bodies were found in the back of his taxi outside a Dallas-area hotel. Said denies that he killed his daughters and told the court on Monday that the girls were 'certainly' alive when he left them in the taxi that evening and fled after he apparently became fearful that he was being followed.
