Veteran anti-communist rebel Char Yeng, 74, shows off injuries sustained while fighting for the US in Laos in the 1970s. For the past 30 years, he has been living as a refugee in Thailand. Now the US has agreed to accept Char Yeng and some 15,000 others like him for re-settlement, closing one of the final chapters in the ill-fated Indochina conflict.
