Former Khmer Rouge cadres and relatives paid their final respects to "Brother Number Two" Nuon Chea on Friday, ahead of a cremation ceremony in Cambodia for the man considered the chief ideologue of the murderous regime. Nuon Chea, once the most trusted deputy of leader Pol Pot, died Sunday in a Phnom Penh hospital at age 93.
