Bodies of some 400 Korean civilians lie in and around trenches in Taejon’s prison yard during the Korean War in Sept. 1950. The victims were bound and slain by retreating Communist forces before the 24th U.S. Division troops recaptured the city Sept. 28. Witnesses said that the prisoners were forced to dig their own trench graves before the slaughter. (AP Photo/James Pringle)
