Cambodian Prince Seeks Help in Trial

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia —
Cambodia’s Prince Norodom Ranariddh called Friday for international help in his country’s trial of a captured Khmer Rouge army chief.

Prime Minister Hun Sen has ruled out an international tribunal, saying that the U.N. Security Council is divided on the issue and that it would take too long to organize.
