Anita Datar

Anita Ashok Datar, the lone Indian-American killed in a terrorist attack in Mali last year, has been honoured by the US Senate which unanimously passed a resolution praising her work for the advancement of international development and public health.

Little did the relatives of Anita Datar, the 41-year-old Indian-American aid worker killed in the Mali hotel massacre, realise that her visit to the family in Pune in March this year would prove to be the last.

The killing of Anita Ashok Datar, the lone American citizen who died in the terrorist attack in Mali, should deepen America's resolve to lead the world to meet the threat posed by radical jihadism, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today.

As she headed to Mali a week ago, Anita Datar was in high spirits. She told her friends on Facebook that she had not visited West Africa since leaving Senegal in 1999. Back then, she was a Peace Corps volunteer. Now she was a 41-year-old global health policy expert for an international development firm.

An Indian-American woman is among at least 27 people killed during a deadly siege of a Mali hotel by Islamic extremists.
