Cambodian guerrilla leader Pol Pot has promised to stop all his military and political activities if Hanoi agrees to an internationally supervised withdrawal of Vietnamese troops from Cambodia, the clandestine Khmer Rouge radio said. Pol Pot led the Communist regime that is blamed for hundreds of thousands of deaths during its rule in Cambodia from 1975 until Vietnamese troops ousted him in early 1979. The Khmer Rouge say they have retired Pol Pot as commander, but he is still regarded as the leader behind the scenes.
