LONDON (AFP) - The British-born head of CARE International's Iraq (news - web sites) operations, Margaret Hassan, was kidnapped in Iraq, the aid organisation said in London.

Hassan, who is married to an Iraqi and is a naturalized Iraqi citizen, has worked for CARE in Iraq since 1992 and has lived for more than 30 years in the country, a CARE spokeswoman told AFP.

The spokeswoman said a statement with further details would be issued later Tuesday.

CARE, a non-governmental organization with a presence in 72 countries, has been active in Iraq since 1991. Following the 2003 war it has focused efforts on providing emergency relief and medical aid, and restoring access to clean water.
