I think the problem here, which some have pointed out is that we are not fighting the Iraqi’s per say but the radical Islamists who have come to Iraq, mostly through Syria. These are not people who see things in terms of western values or western rules of war. You may come with the best intentions, just wanting to help people, without any regard to the government or politics, but to them you are a western Christian enemy, a threat to their dominance though your very existence, and a threat because your selfless work sets an example of the West they do not want the populous to see.
By killing her they would hope to send the message to others who would come to help to stay away.
Does it hurt their cause? Yes, but their cause is warped and by our standards evil.
