Authorities said that villagers were excavating land in a forested area when they discovered about 20 skulls and the remnants of skeletons. A local military official said the bones were found at the site of a former Khmer Rouge prison where hundreds were believed killed.—AP Source: Irrawaddy.org Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
