Britain: Kidnapped Aid Worker Likely Dead
Dental records have shown that a mutilated body found in Iraq is not that of kidnapped aid worker Margaret Hassan, but British officials say they still believe the British-Irish citizen is dead. The Foreign Office said dental tests were conducted in the United States on a body found in Fallujah by U.S. Marines, who believed it was that of a Western woman. The tests showed the body wasn't Hassan's, a Foreign Office spokesman said. He said he believed the tests had been unable to establish the body's identity. The belief that Hassan was killed was based on a video that reportedly shows a blindfolded woman being shot in the head by her captors. The Foreign Office spokesman maintained that the woman in the video was likely Hassan and that she is probably dead.
