Sympathetic though I am to the plight of individuals I have to say that any non-military westerner in Iraq is there through choice and should know the risks.
I have been trying to get more details on Ms Osthoff. According to Das Bild she has been in Iraq since 1984 and has a 12 year-old child. She was there during the 1991 conflict and helped to organise distribution of German generated aid. Kind of sounds as if she is there for the long haul and not a recent arrival.
