British aid worker Linda Norgrove was killed by her captors in Afghanistan during a rescue attempt by coalition forces, the U.K. government said today.

Norgrove, 36, who was employed by a U.S.-based organization, was kidnapped last month with three local staff when their vehicle was ambushed in Kunar province.
