DAMOUR, Lebanon: Mouldering coffins lie on the edge of Damour's "new" cemetery. The old cemetery was destroyed by Muslim and Palestinian militia groups during a raid on the Christian village on January 20th, 1976. Coffins were dug up and crypts destroyed, with the corpses of the dead thrown into the streets. Approximately 330 civilians were murdered, apparently in retaliation for the bloody Karentina massacre.
