She was videotaped being shot in the head by the thug terrorists and Al-Jazeera, to its credit, said it would not broadcast the video.

"We will not air the tape because we respect the audience's feelings," said an al-Jazeera official, whose channel earlier announced it had received a tape of the killing.

Tahseen Hassan, the Iraqi husband of Mrs. Hassan, appealed in a statement broadcast by Britain's Sky News television to have her body returned to him.

"I beg those people who took Margaret to tell me what they have done with her. They can tell ... I need her. I need her back to rest in peace," he said.

"Margaret lived with me in Iraq for 30 years. She dedicated her life to serving the Iraqi people. Please, now, please return her to me."

Margaret Hassan wa a life-long charitable soul who was murdered in cold blood by terrorists. To no one was she a threat.
