BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) - The kidnappers of British aid worker Margaret Hassan have released a video tape that appears to show her murder a month after she was seized in Baghdad, her husband and British officials said on Tuesday.
"We can confirm there is a tape that appears to show Margaret's murder," a British embassy official in Baghdad told Reuters. "We believe it is probably genuine."
"Foreign" but married to an Iraqi, had lived in Iraq for 30 years, and by all accounts had done nothing but work tirelessly for her adopted country. What a way to thank her. What was your point, exactly?"We can confirm there is a tape that appears to show Margaret's murder," a British embassy official in Baghdad told Reuters. "We believe it is probably genuine."
If confirmed, the murder of Hassan would be the first killing of a foreign woman taken hostage by militants in Iraq.
