25,000 Austrians attend Haider's funeral
Thousands of Austrians packed the southern city of Klagenfurt today to mourn Joerg Haider, a politician who was denounced as a Nazi sympathiser in the 1990s but had remained hugely popular as a provincial governor.
Mr Haider, 58, had been on the crest of a far-right resurgence in Austrian national politics when he was killed on October 11 in a high-speed car crash while drunk at the wheel.
