Vela Pie dries her tears while remembering the beheading of two fellow Haitians in Hatillo Palma, Montecristi 132 miles (212 kms) north of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on Wednesday, June 8, 2005. The assailants attacked a group of Haitian farm workers while they slept in wooden shacks in this northwestern agricultural town of 8,000. Residents and authorities believe they were seeking revenge for the killing of a Dominican woman, allegedly by Haitians. "They arrived at night and started shooting in the air, saying they were guards," said Pie, 68,"When people walked outside, the men started swinging their machetes." (AP Photo/Miguel Gomez)
