World IN BRIEF : CAMBODIA : Guerrillas Threaten to Renew Fighting
The Khmer Rouge said it will renew fighting if the Phnom Penh government does not yield power to the winner of Cambodia’s general elections. At its first news conference since the May 23-28 U.N.-organized elections, the guerrilla group hinted that it would support the opposition party headed by Prince Norodom Ranariddh, which won the vote. However, it did not directly endorse the outcome of the elections, which it boycotted. The government has raised tensions by contesting the results of the election for a 120-member Constituent Assembly empowered to write a new constitution and eventually form a new government.
