PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Fourteen people died in western Cambodia when their homemade tractor ran over an anti-tank mine left over from the country's civil war in the 1980s, an official said Wednesday.
The incident occurred Tuesday in Battambang province, 155 miles (250 kilometres) northwest of the capital Phnom Penh, while the farmers were on their way back home from harvesting chilies, police Maj. Buth Sambo said.
He said 12 of them were killed instantly, including a one-year-old girl, and the two others died on the way to a hospital.
