CAMBODIA : Rebels Urge Pol Pot, Coup Leader Be Tried

Khmer Rouge guerrillas said that if they hand over longtime leader Pol Pot for trial before an international tribunal, the nation’s current leader should be tried as well. In a broadcast on clandestine Khmer Rouge radio, the guerrillas said they had no objections to surrendering Pol Pot for prosecution for alleged genocide during the Khmer Rouge’s bloody regime. But the guerrillas said they had given American journalist Nate Thayer documents that also implicate Cambodian coup leader Hun Sen in “great crimes.”
