Remains of 105 Vietnamese soldiers found in Cambodia
The remains of 105 Vietnamese soldiers killed during Hanoi's decade-long occupation of Cambodia have been found.
The remains were reportedly uncovered in Battambang province and Siem Reap.
The search for more Vietnamese remains will continue in the region for another month.
Vietnam began the search for its missing in action in July 2001.
Vietnamese military officials claims the bodies of some six thousand Vietnamese soldiers have been unearthed since 2001 and a further 13-thousand are still missing.
Hanoi has only recently acknowledged the human cost of its ten year intervention to overthrow Cambodia's genocidal Khmer Rouge regime.
