Jason Burke discovers how Pol Pot's ruthless killers are repenting
their sins
Sunday October 24, 2004

The Khmer Rouge followed a harsh brand of communism, killing nearly
two million people in their bid to return Cambodia to Year Zero. Now
they have a new faith: evangelical Christianity.
Hundreds of former fighters have been baptised in the past year. The
Khmer Rouge's mountain stronghold, the town of Pailin in south-west
Cambodia, has four churches, all with pastors and growing
congregations. At least 2,000 of those who followed Pol Pot, the
guerrillas' former leader who died six years ago, now worship Jesus.
