The Dutch government formally apologized Friday for a 1947 massacre on Indonesia's Java island, in an emotional ceremony on the anniversary of the executions by its colonial army.Dutch troops swooped into a village in the town of Rawagede during Indonesia's fight for independence and executed men and boys as their families and neighbours looked on.
Dutch officials say 150 people were killed, but a support group and the local community say the death toll was 431.
