Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge, the Communist party which ruled the country, and killed between 1 and 2 million people in a very short time there, out of a population of 8 million, until the slightly less nasty fellow Communist Vietnamese army defeated them, at which point they fled into the jungle.
