not religious, say family; Karen Woo's relatives reject Taliban claims she

Quote:

"The family * * * today rejected Taliban claims that she was preaching
Christianity to Muslims, saying she was not religious at all.

"Woo had been due to fly back to the UK today to marry a former soldier she
had met in Kabul. * * * Woo's fiance, British security worker Mark 'Paddy'
Smith, told last night of losing the woman he was due to marry in two weeks
at Chelsea registry office

"The pair met when Smith helped her unload her luggage from a plane in
November last year and fell in love after reuniting a month later. 'It was
one of those crazy relationships,' said Smith. 'Nothing is normal in
Afghanistan, but when we met it just made sense. You know when something is
right.
