Fahmi's remains to arrive on Tuesday

JAKARTA: The body of Indonesian national Fahmi Ahmad, who was killed in an ambush in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on August 22, is expected to arrive at Soekarno-Hatta airport at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Fahmi's body has arrived in Damascus from where it will be flown to Jakarta by Gulf Air, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Yuri Thamrin said.

Fahmi, who was working for London-based Peta Consulting under a three-month contract, was assigned to set up Siemens Telephone networks in Mosul. He should have left Mosul before Aug. 22 because his contract with the company had expired. --JP
