Linda Norgrove’s parents have said no-one was to blame for her death An inquest into the death of Scottish aid worker Linda Norgrove in Afghanistan has heard she had a bullet wound on her lower right leg.
Ms Norgrove, 36, from Lewis, on the Western Isles, was taken hostage in September 2010 and died during a US special forces operation on 8 October.
A military investigation found that she was killed by a grenade thrown by one of her rescuers.
An inquest into her death has resumed in Trowbridge.
Wiltshire coroner David Ridley said the hearing will not apportion blame.
It has heard that, as well as injuries caused by a grenade, she also had a bullet wound on her right leg.
The first witness to give evidence was senior British officer Brig Robert Nitch who was involved in the joint UK and US investigation into the American rescue attempt.
He said there was no attempt to hide the facts of what happened during the operation and was struck by the integrity of the US special forces.
Ms Norgrove’s parents, Lorna and John Norgrove, are attending the inquest and have previously said they do not blame anyone for the death of their daughter.
BBC Scotland reporter Tim Reid has been given permission by the coroner to use the messaging website Twitter to tweet short reports from the inquest.
