Syria gravediggers overwhelmed by casualties

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)
