TOKYO (AFP): Relatives and wellwishers paid tribute Wednesday (Dec 11)to veteran doctor Tetsu Nakamura at his funeral in southern Japan, a week after he was killed in an ambush in Afghanistan.
The 73-year-old physician's son recalled him as a man of action, with a deep respect for the natural world.
Nakamura, a towering figure in Afghanistan where he spent decades of his career, was killed last week in Jalalabad, the main city in the eastern province of Nangarhar where he had worked since the 1980s. "What I learned from my father, I will demonstrate with my actions," Nakamura's son said, offering condolences to others killed in the attack.
