Economist in Kabul attack laid to rest


KUALA LUMPUR: The family of economist Dr Gnanathurai Nagarajah is still struggling to come to terms with his abrupt death.

They held a traditional funeral and cremation ceremony yesterday where the entire family – some of whom had flown in from the United States and Britain – paid their last respects to the 66-year-old, who was killed in a suicide attack at a restaurant in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Jan 17.
