The coffin of aid worker Linda Norgrove is carried from the Uig Community Centre on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, by mourners after her funeral service,  Tuesday Oct. 26, 2010. Slain British aid worker Linda Norgrove has been laid to rest in a ceremony marked by Afghan music and Gaelic gospel tunes on the remote Scottish island of Lewis. The 36-year-old was killed in a failed U.S. rescue operation following her kidnapping by Afghan militants. U.S. and British officials initially claimed she was killed by her captors, but U.S. Gen. David Petraeus later acknowledged that she may have died when one of her would-be rescuers threw a grenade.
