Fahmi's remains arrive in Jakarta

JAKARTA: The remains of an Indonesian engineer shot dead in Iraq, Fahmi Achmad Wani, arrived in Jakarta on Tuesday, and were buried later the same day by his family.

Escorted by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the remains traveled via Jordan from Mosul, Northern Iraq, where Fahmi was killed in an ambush almost two weeks ago.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Hassan Wirayuda said that Fahmi was shot in the head and that an investigation into the alleged perpetrators was still going on.

Fahmi, who was killed just days before he was due to return to Indonesia, went to Iraq on a three-month contract to work on telephone network installation for German-based company, Siemens. -- JP
