ROMANIA: Former Dictator Nicolae Ceausescu And Wife Are Exhumed.
ALJAZEERA/ Exhumations seem to be all the rage this week. First in Venezuela of Simon Bolivar and his sister...and now in Romania of Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena. The former dictator has been dug up from the Ghencea militray cemetary to confirm the identities of the bodies buried there at the request of his children after a 5-year court case. Valentin, the last of the couple's three children ,has repeatedly said that he doubted that they were actually been buried there. Both were executed in 1989.
