Gravediggers at the
cemetery in the northern Syrian town of Azaz no longer wait for bombs
to fall before they break the ground. The dead come too fast. A war plane dropped
two bombs that destroyed at least six houses on Dec. 29. Eleven people
were killed, and children were buried two to a grave to
save space. On Sunday morning the workers were back, digging fresh graves for the next victims, whoever they may be. "We know the plane is coming to hit us, so we're being prepared," said Abu Sulaiman, one of a few men digging at the Sheikh Saad cemetery. (AP)
