Phnom Penh
Wednesday, 23 June 2010
Cambodian officials on Wednesday welcomed the US life sentence of a man who organized an armed attack on Phnom Penh in late 2000.
Chhun Yasith, the head of the Cambodian Freedom Fighters, was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday, following his 2005 arrest in Long Beach and subsequent guilty verdict in 2008.
The attack, involving about 50 men in what the government labeled a coup attempt, left four CFF members dead and 14 people, including security forces and civilians, wounded.
