The widow of reggae star Bob Marley is planning to exhume his remains from Jamaica and rebury them in Ethiopia, which she described as his ''spirtual resting place''.
The news has shocked the Jamaican Tourist Board, which relies on the thousands of tourists who flock to see his grave every year to bring in revenue to the country. The reburial is set to take place next month, when celebrations of Mr Marley's 60th birthday will be held in Ethiopia. Government and Church officials in Ethiopia expressed support for the project.
