"FRESH doubts have emerged over the fate of a British aid worker taken hostage in Iraq in October after tests revealed the mutilated body of a Western woman found a fortnight ago was not Margaret Hassan."

"The body of a woman in her 50s found in Fallujah days later, with head injuries consistent with those of someone shot at point-blank range, was thought to be that of the 59-year-old.

But dental tests completed on the body this week proved it was not Mrs Hassan. Unsourced claims that the dental records did not match were reported in The Times's Wednesday edition in London.

Care Australia confirmed yesterday the published results were accurate."

her poor family and friends. What a horrible, sick nightmare this must be for them. And for her, if she's still alive.
