I was in Baghdad when she was kidnapped. She appeared on TV making pleas for mercy over a period of several weeks, as did her husband, an Iraqi, and her body was later found in Fallujah, a base area at the time of followers of Al Zarqawi. Her pleas were put out on the internet by her captors, who did not hide their loyalties. There were also witnesses to her kidnapping.
It’s saddening that anyone should try to exploit this tragedy by promulgating such a far-fetched notion as British involvement when the Brits and others were doing all they could to free her. Your claims only deepen the divisions — and the sense that there’s no solution while people such as you have no inhibitions about mercilessly using such a tragedy for your own purposes.
