Cambodians pray for victims on anniversary

CHOEUNG EK (Cambodia): Cambodians gathered yesterday at mass graves where 8,000 of their countrymen perished under the Khmer Rouge, praying with Buddhist monks for the victims on the 30th anniversary of the genocidal regime's seizure of power. 

The 30 monks – one for each year since the fall of the capital, Phnom Penh – chanted prayers for the victims, some of whose skulls lay piled one on top of another in a two-storey tower nearby.
