<p><br /> The parents of aid worker Linda Norgrove say they will not play the "blame game" after the death of their daughter in Afghanistan.<br /> </p><p><br /> The 36-year-old was killed in a failed rescue attempt on October 6.<br /> </p><p><br /> It was initially thought her captors had killed her, but it later emerged a US grenade may have been to blame. A joint US/UK military inquiry is currently under way.<br /> </p><p><br /> Lorna Norgrove said: "We don't want to enter the blame game. Linda is dead and there's nothing we can do to change that, we're just immensely proud of what she was doing in Afghanistan and we want to continue her work in some way."<br /> </p><p><br /> Mr Norgrove described his daughter's captors as "extremely dangerous and militant criminals".<br /> </p><p><br /> He added: "The rescue attempt, it would appear to us, was so close to being a total success and at the end there was what appears to have been a human error. But we do think that it is very creditable of the Americans to own up that there has been a mistake when they could so easily have covered the whole thing up and we do think they deserve credit for that."<br /> </p><p><br /> They are setting up a foundation in Linda's name to promote the causes she supported.<br /> </p><p><br /> Mr Norgrove said Linda was a "very adventurous girl" and was determined to go to Afghanistan four years ago when she worked for the United Nations.<br /> </p><p><br /> "At the time I said to her that our worst nightmare was that she might be kidnapped," he said.<br /> </p><p><br /> "But at the end we had to accept that she'd been adventurous, she'd done risky things before."<br /> </p><p><br /> The former United Nations employee was working for the firm Development Alternatives Inc.<br /> </p><p><br /> Based in Jalalabad, Ms Norgrove supervised reconstruction programmes funded by the US government in the eastern region of Afghanistan.<br /> </p>
