Thousands of mourners are expected to pay their final respects Friday to six worshippers gunned down by a white supremacist at a Sikh temple in the U.S. almost a week ago for reasons that still aren’t clear.
A day after members were allowed back into the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin for the first time since Sunday’s attack, the country’s top lawyer, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will speak. Then a series of priests will read the Sikh holy book from cover to cover in a rite honouring the dead called “Akhand Path.” It takes 48 hours.
