Cambodia - Mine kills 6 farmers
Print Edition
A land mine left over from Cambodia’s three decades of civil war has killed six farmers who were returning from planting rice, a mine clearance official said Thursday.
The men had been riding a homemade tractor Wednesday in the northern province of Preah Vihear when the anti-tank mine exploded, said Heng Ratana of the Cambodian Mine Action Center, a government agency. He said a seventh man was critically injured.
The tragedy showed the danger of an estimated 4 million to 6 million uncleared land mines that kill or maim over 200 people yearly. There have been more than 60,000 casualties since 1979, when the Khmer Rouge were ousted.
