Margaret Hassan Was Murdered by British Agents, Not by Muslims
From Jihad Unspun
Margaret Hassan, the 59 year old director of CARE international in Iraq was taken captive on her way to work in Baghdad on October 19, 2004 in a picture-perfect operation. A videotape issued Oct. 22 and aired by Al-Jazeera showed her pleading for Britain to withdraw troops from Iraq. As JUS [Jihad Unspun] reported at the time, based on information from reliable sources close to the Mujahideen in Iraq, the kidnapping of Margaret Hassan was an operation concocted by British agents inside the country, in an effort to divert attention away from the British troop deployment into Latifiyah. — a deployment that was required so that the Americans could strike Fallujah. The deployment of British troops at the time caused a great deal of commotion but was a deployment that Tony Blair was not at liberty to refuse on orders from his US masters. Now, just as the public becomes outraged once again with the brutality of this escalating war, Margaret is allegedly killed by the nasty Muslims. ....

Jihad Ballout, a spokesman for the Al-Jazeera TV network, told The Associated Press they received a videotape a few days ago. It shows a militant firing a pistol into the head of a blindfolded woman wearing an orange jumpsuit. "She was presumed to be Mrs. Hassan," Ballout told The Associated Press. Presumption indeed. The network said it was planning to show British officials the videotape but said they would not be airing the video to the public. ....

Sunni clerics who have been heading up the Resistance in Fallujah has said previously that they were not responsible Hassan's kidnapping and at the time called for her release. Of the 150 foreigners captured by Mujahideen, few have been women with most being released and none have been killed, unlike the males who have been swiftly executed. Women are enjoined with special privileges in Islam and the Mujahideen are required to protect them under Shariah laws of Islam.
