** CAPTION ADDITION, ADDS ID ** An Uzbek woman who identified herself only as Khadicha, and who fled from the southern Kyrgyz city of Osh after her husband was killed and house burned down stands in line in no-man's-land near the Uzbek village of Jalal-Kuduk waiting for permission to cross into Uzbekistan, Monday, June 14, 2010. Tens of thousands of refugees fled pogroms that began last week in southern Kyrgyzstan. (AP Photo/Anvar Ilyasov)AP - Standing behind barbed wire with other Uzbek refugees, the woman tearfully raised her hands in a Muslim prayer Monday for her dead husband. She had left his body at their burned-down house in southern Kyrgyzstan while fleeing ethnic riots that reduced much of a major city to ruins.
