Modern day's Cambodians share refuge with their ancestors' Gods

A Cambodian woman looks past curtains covering the halls of the disputed 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple October 16, 2008. Nearly 200 Cambodian residents living near the temple have taken refuge on its grounds, after recent fighting killed two Cambodian soldiers, a local Cambodian newspaper reported. The International Court of Justice awarded the temple to Cambodia in 1962, but the court failed to determine the ownership of 1.8 square miles (4.6 sq km) Hindu ruins, a ruling that has rankled with Thais ever since.
