Dr Karen Woo, 36, was shot dead alongside nine colleagues by militants while on a medical aid mission in Nuristan in August 2010. She had been delivering vital healthcare to more than 1,500 civilians as part of a three-week expedition organised by Christian charity the International Assistance Mission.
