Iraq Margaret Hassan
FILE -- This is an undated file photo provided by CARE shows Margaret Hassan, the kidnapped British aid worker and director CARE International's operations in Iraq. Iraqi man Ali Lutfi al-Rawi was convicted Tuesday, June 2, 2009, in the 2004 kidnapping and slaying of British aid worker Margaret Hassan and was sentenced to life in prison. Hassan, 59, was one of the highest profile figures to fall victim to the wave of kidnappings that swept the country as the insurgency was gaining traction. A judge handed down the sentence against Ali Lutfi al-Rawi after a one-day trial in an Iraqi court in Baghdad. He faced charges of kidnapping, murder and extortion. The defendant, who had pleaded not guilty, showed no reaction as he was led away by guards after the sentencing. (AP Photo/CARE/file)
