The head of Iraqi operations for a humanitarian charity has been kidnapped in Baghdad.
Margaret Hassan, an Iraqi who also holds British citizenship, was abducted on her way to work at 7.30 am this morning.
Ms Hassan has been working as an aid worker in Iraq for over 25 years and is the head in Iraq of the British based charity CARE International.
A statement from the charity said "As of now we are unaware of the motives for the abduction. As far as we know, Margaret is unharmed. Needless to say, we are doing whatever we can to secure her release, but equally, it would be unhelpful for us to comment further at this time.
