Cambodia: Khmer Rouge Leadership: Pol Pot, Nuon Chea and Ieng Sary in a 1979 DK propaganda photograph

In a staged photograph, a troop of Khmer Rouge guerrillas file through the jungle of western Cambodia. Pol Pot strides out in the lead, followed by his personal bodyguard and then Brother No 2, Nuon Chea. Ieng Sary (in black) is 11th from left. The message to the Vietnamese and the outside world: 'We're still here and a viable force'.
