In this photo obtained by the Associated Press on Thursday June 2, 2011 and taken on May 8, 2011, a man, who according U.N. reports had been killed in a apparent massacre of civilians, lies on the ground in the village of Kaldak, Jonglei state, southern Sudan. Southern Sudan soldiers attacking a minority ethnic group targeted and shot unarmed men and women after a battle at this remote Nile River village that resulted in hundreds of civilian victims, according to secret U.N. reports obtained by The Associated Press.
