The cross of former Romanian communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu is seen at the top of his presumed grave at Bucharest's Ghencea cemetery January 23, 2001. The leader of a fringe communist said he would ask Romania's president to exhume the body of former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu on January 26 (which coincides with his 83rd birthday) to try to shed light on the circumstances of his death. More than 11 years after a revolt ended the Communist regime in Romania, mystery still surrounds Ceausescu's death and the place of his burial, which has never officially been confirmed.
