Phnom Penh, Feb 4 (AP) - Cambodia plans to draft a new law in a bid to stop the growing number of attacks in which jealous wives, vengeful businessmen and others have hurled acid at their rivals, a government official said today.
More than 10 people were assaulted with acid in 2009, and three last month alone, according to statistics from a non government group that helps victims of the attacks.
"For the attackers, using acid to attack their opponents is very easy, not hard to keep and hide like guns," said Deputy Minister of Interior Teng Savong.
