Magic Buddhist Monk of Cambodia (video)

(A.J. English) Scores of Buddhist-Animist-Brahminical Cambodians have been flocking to a temple on the outskirts of the capital Phnom Penh to visit a man they're describing as "the magic monk." Ven. Bin Sovann is [in 2007] a hugely popular 38 year-old Buddhist monastic, who claims to possess special healing powers and even the ability to exorcise spirits. Al Jezeera's Hamish Macdonald paid him a visit.
