(Oct. 9) -- A British aid worker kidnapped in Afghanistan last month was killed by her Taliban captors during a NATO commando raid to rescue her.
Linda Norgrove, 36, had spent years working for charities and development projects in Afghanistan, and was on an American project in eastern Kunar province when her convoy was ambushed on Sept. 26. Police fought a gunbattle with the kidnappers before they escaped with Norgrove and three of her Afghan colleagues.
The Afghan men were later released unharmed, but Norgrove was held hostage for nearly two weeks before NATO forces decided to try to rescue her in a secret raid Friday night. Kidnapped Aid Worker Killed in Afghan Rescue Attempt UK Foreign Office / AP Aid worker Linda Norgrove was killed Friday night during an attempt to free her from Taliban militants, who kidnapped her on Sept. 26.
"Working with our allies we received information about where Linda was being held and we decided that, given the danger she was facing, her best chance of safe release was to act on that information," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement today, confirming her death.
The statement said Norgrove "was killed at the hands of her captors in the course of a rescue attempt last night," according to Bloomberg News. Hague expressed "deep sadness" at the news.

She was not killed in a rescue attempt. She was murdered by terrorists in a rescue attempt.
And I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that she had been repeatedly raped over the last two years too.
At least they tried. Better than to have sent un-armed UN “forces”.
Sadly, no news of the fate of her captors. Pity.
You mean two weeks? She was captured sept 26th.
Some talking head on TV said it was two years. My mistake.
These supposed ‘holy men’ kidnapped a woman who was helping people, then killed this woman.
Nothing less than a filthy dog would do. Stupid, cowardly, unclean, barbaric swine, is what they are.
When will Islam enter the 21st century and stop behaving in such a backward way. Kidnapping and killing women. Women who are righteously helping others.
God rebuke them.
Nope,no way.The Taliban are,surely,men of Go...sorry,Allah.Moe Hammered made it clear that "Allah" only allows that kind of stuff with underage girls.
Not meaning any disrespect, BUT, What the hell are ya doing as a “ Aid worker” in Afganistan?
It may even be less dangerous being a white social worker in WATTS.
Islam is evil.
Which group attempted the rescue, sas?
Maybe she has bigger balls than you.

They don't need "aid workers" they need lots of little parachutes.
I don’t think that is fair to dogs.
I wonder what egregious things were done to these poor, oppressed people to cause them to do this? </sarc>
We need to send them more aid....
I think you owe an apology to the dirty dog going through the dumpster near my house. How could you insult him so, comparing him to Taliban kidnappers?
Why was she wrying to help savages? That can never end well.
