    Seems to be true (BBC)

    Sad, sad news… I think we all feared this might happen as soon as the first news of her capture broke, but harboured hopes, however slim, that she might survive.

    RIP Margaret, heartless scum who take the life of a woman who spent 30 years looking after their sick and poor, at this stage nothing could shock me the world and morals have changed so much this 3-4 years.

    was listening to coverage on 5live last night- apparently even Al Zarqawi said she should be released as she was a friend of the Iraqi people.

    No, that wasn't her. That was a blonde woman who is yet to be identified.

    ^ yeah I heard on the Radio they think that might be the Polish woman who went missing a couple of weeks back. Pretty disgusting stuff, mutilating someone like that.

    She's dead alright!

    A Mass has been held in County Kerry this morning for Irish-born aid worker Margaret Hassan.Her apparent death at the hands of Iraqi kidnappers has drawn condemnation from around the world.

    Mrs Hassan was remembered in a special Mass in the Roman Catholic church in Kenmare in the southwest of Ireland.

    The 59-year-old's sister Geraldine Riney lives in the area.

    Local curate Father Edmund Corridan said Mrs Hassan was an "indescribable loss".

    Why do they call her British?, She was Irish for Christ's sake

    Truely appalling news, such a pointless and mindless act, I wonder what
    the people who killed her expect to gain from her death, certaintly not
    support for their 'cause'.
    Apparently an Arab media outlet did a poll which had 70% against and 30%
    in favour (or whatever) of her killing.

    My own personal view is that the TV footage of American soldiers shooting
    wounded Iraqi fighters who apparently didn't pose a threat probably
    sealed her fate.

    Still a terrible crime to kill someone who devoted her life to caring for
    the Iraqi people, these people would probably have no qualms shooting
    there own mothers.

    Sickening.

    Don't believe everything you see on TV. Could well be right, though, To be honest, these guys are not the type who are ever going to listen to reasoning. How could they bring themselves to do it. It sickens me right to my stomach, it really does...

    could be. certainly won't have helped. althought the fact that al zarqawi said she should be freed points to it being a criminal gang. there was a great comment from an iraqi interviewed on th news a while ago. he said " these people call themselves the opposition. where were they when saddam was in charge."

    Well presumable they were either working for Saddam's regime or in one
    of his jails (which he had emptied when the country was invaded).

    I wondered whether it was Al Zarqawi who held her all the time?
    They may have realised it would be bad publicity to harm here and
    so made out they were another group. Probably pretty unlikely considering,
    but it was a thought which crossed my mind.
    However they did not demand money rather the troops to be pulled out etc..

    I still cannot see what they think they have gained from this it just
    portrays them as less than human.
    More support form sub-humans no doubt?

    I know it's fcuk all consolation to her or her family now but at least they shot here and made it quick because i've had the seen clips of the beheadings of Bigley and the american soldiers and it was horrific,supposedly was forty minutes before the 'insurgents' finished with them,sick.

    No western looking person is safe in Iraq now.I wouldn't go there for all the money in the world.

    true.


    as for what tricky_colour said- I think if the group had wanted to release her, they could have found a way.

    Its a shame some people thought they would be safe because they were
    Irish, these people willl kill anyone.
    I can understand how they could kill someone working for the
    security forces but not a charity worker, thats just incomprehensible.
