The point was brought home painfully when three skeletons, one decapitated, one with its skull crushed, the third with its legs broken back, were unearthed from shallow, unmarked graves in a field of the state's Cummins prison farm...

Hundreds of them still sleep on the sidewalks of Amman, and hundreds of others live in vacant cellars or shallow holes gouged out of the city's rocky hillsides. "We don't know where many of them are," says Reconstruction and Development Minister Hazem Nusseibeh. "If we don't make contact soon, many of them will die during the winter...
