Man you need to get a new news source....
It looks like she was killed by the US special forces, not the hostage takers. Also it seems the hostage takers were not AL Q or Taliban but common bandits.
So, since the bbc reported her death as being killed by her captors, in order to remain consistant with your extremely dogmatic political ideology, you find it necessary to scour the web looking for a propaganda site that interprets events in accordance with your predetermined views?
EH? Have you not followed the freaking news last 48 hours?
Linda Norgrove: aid worker 'killed by friendly fire' - Telegraph
Full investigation vowed in captive Briton's death - Yahoo! News
BBC News - UK aid worker may have been killed by rescuers' grenade
and so on and so on...
Been all over the news here..
So yes as usual RoP is wrong and mis-informed.
The issue here is that there are two conflicting reports, and that you demand that the one that matters is the one constant with your hatred of all things American.
Speculation is not the same as cooroberation.

British aid worker Linda Norgrove may have been accidentally killed by a grenade thrown by US troops and not by her Taliban captors, David Cameron said today.
It had initially been reported that Ms Norgrove, 36, died after insurgents detonated a bomb vest as 150 American troops attempted to rescue her from a remote Afghanistan hideout where she was being held hostage.
Mr Cameron said the early reports of how she died were “deeply regrettable” — especially for the family — but were made in good faith on the basis of the information available.
He spoke to Ms Norgrove's father John this morning, adding: “None of us can understand just how painful this must be for Linda's family.”
And it is not my fault that you and RoP dont follow basic news coverage...
Still, let's forgive the opposition their extremely European bout of schadenfreude. After all, they don't have much oppertunity to land any real punches any more.
I was completely wrong, got caught out in yet more Islam-bashing, couldn't find the grace to admit my mistake.
Yep, they're savouring the moment! The truly graceless get fed so little that any scraps they can get are feasted upon as by ravenous rodents! For them, moments like this are as rare as the passing of Halley's Comet.
And even then, it's not strictly accurate but it's the best they can cook up. In the end, any real teeth-baring will need to be aimed at the BBC.
For the record, Linda Norgrove's death is a tragedy and not one to be blamed on the US soldier who may have killed her accidentally in trying to effect her release. That poor GI will have to live with that burden for ever and I feel for him/her almost as much as I feel for Linda Norgrove's family and friends. The people really responsible are those bandits of whatever religion or tribe they may be who took hostage someone whose only goal was to do good.
...demonising Moslems (sic) ?
....further your prejudice.....
....then play the innocent when called out on it.
...Except for the news items by outlets which are universally accepted as publishing basic news coverage. I noticed the latest development in the supermarket today, in papers claiming a soldier's helmet-camera holds the definitive evidence either way.
Still, let's forgive the opposition their extremely European bout of schadenfreude. After all, they don't have much oppertunity to land any real punches any more.
Now, do you want to continue to use her death as an excuse for insulting and demonising Moslems? Please go right ahead.

What's wrong with "demonizing" Muslims?
It was Muslims who kidnapped this poor woman and, as ROP mentioned, "murdered Ken Bigly, Gillian Gibbons, Peter Moore, all those unarmed British sailors, countless citizens and army personnel , Alan McMenemy, Jason Creswell, Jason Swindlehurst, Jonathan Cote, Joshua Munns, Paul Johnson Reuben, Bert Nussbaumer, TWENTY-THREE South Koreans, Sean Langan, etc", and that etc. extends through many thousands of innocent people.
You're welcome to counter any "demonizing" of Muslims with some positive stuff.
Let's hear it!
As usual, you are WRONG. She was killed when a terrorist detonated a bomb during the rescue. DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO PASS THE BLAME TO HER RESCUERS.
Shame on you.
Shame on the British PM then for stating it

Australian news (ABC) has a story that the US soldier may be disciplined - their report states that they believe she escaped her captors and was lying in a foetal position, the rescue soldier didn't see her and threw a fragmentation grenade into the area she was lying in.

How many Iranians were killed by the US supported dicator Shah, how many Yemenis have been killed by US bombs, how many afghanis, how many pakistanis. how many filllipinos?
All the outrage at a few people compared to the far larger number of muslims killed by US action in just the last 50 years, especially just the last 13.
