Government 'guilty of causing Iraq aid worker's death'
"We believe the refusal by the British government to open a dialogue with the kidnappers cost our sister her life" Statement given by Margaret Hussan's family yesterday.

AID worker Margaret Hassan, who was murdered in Iraq, died because the British government refused to speak to her kidnappers, her family said yesterday.

The Care International worker was taken hostage in October 2004 and killed just under a month later - but her body has never been found.

"We believe the refusal by the British government to open a dialogue with the kidnappers cost our sister her life," Ms Hassan's family said in a statement yesterday.

1. Kidnapping is a regular business enterprise in Iraq
Give them the ransom, you get the person. You don't give them the ransom, fine. They will just kill the person and go out and grab another. No danger in the kidnappers getting caught because there is no security personnel in Iraq to catch them.

Its as straight forward as that. So this lady's sister is right, the UK refused to follow the rule of the land they help create in Iraq.
