Dozens of people gather on the roadsides of Cargèse, in Corsica, to wait for and accompany the hearse carrying the coffin of Yvan Colonna. The pro-independence activist, a local, was fatally attacked by a fellow inmate in Arles prison. He was serving a sentence for the assassination of the prefect Claude Erignac in 1998. IMAGES
Hundreds of people line the streets to pay tribute as a hearse carrying the coffin of nationalist figure Yvan Colonna arrives Ajaccio, the capital of the French Mediterranean island of Corsica. Colonna was attacked on March 2 by a fellow inmate at a prison in southern France where he was being held over the 1998 assassination of a senior French government official. News of his death -- which was announced late on Monday -- risks inflaming tensions after some of the worst rioting for years earlier this month in Corsica, where some see Colonna as a hero in the fight for independence.
