Associated Press
Emory University says a vigil is planned to remember two students killed when a group of armed extremists stormed a restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
School officials say the “Vigil for Dhaka” is set for 1 p.m. Thursday in Cannon Chapel on the Atlanta campus.
Emory officials have said Faraaz Hossain and Abinta Kabir were killed in the Saturday morning attack on a restaurant in Bangladesh’s capital that left 28 dead.
Kabir was entering Emory’s Oxford College as a sophomore. She was visiting family and friends in Bangladesh at the time of the attack. Hossain was a student at the university’s Goizueta Business School in Atlanta.
Emory spokeswoman Elaine Justice says Kabir was a sophomore from Miami and Hossain was from Dhaka.
A live stream of the vigil will be available.
