There's his halting English, his insistence on singing in Punjabi and his tongue-tangling name, pronounced "Dlurr Maindy."

At first glance, Girenko might seem an unlikely target for assassination. A tall, somewhat fragile 64-year-old with a bushy gray beard, he was an ethnographer and anthropologist who earned his reputation as an academic specializing in Swahili studies and research on kinship.
