Fear of the Khmer Rouge still rules much of the Kampuchean countryside, where the rebel fighters battle the improving army of the People's Republic. Around Chhun Kiri, 65 miles southwest of Phnom Penh, the Khmer Rouge has stepped up its "war of the villages." At a nearby hospital lay Pen Kea, 40, his leg injured in a guerrilla attack.
