Phnom Penh - A reputed hoard of Khmer Rouge-era gold saw monks and villagers engaged in a weekend standoff with soldiers at a temple in western Cambodia, national media reported Monday.
The provincial governor of Pailin, Y Chhien, said the supposedowner of the gold, whom he did not name, had tipped off the authorities to its existence.
