Three Vietnamese policemen who died during clashes over a land rights dispute have been buried with honours in Hanoi. Their deaths came during a massive security operation last week in a village near the capital, in which a local leader also died. Villagers had been resisting attempts by the military to build an airfield on their land for several years. Land disputes are common in Vietnam, but rarely escalate into such conflict.
