Cambodian PM warns of 'war' if opposition wins poll
PRIME Minister Hun Sen said yesterday that Cambodia risks civil war if the opposition wins polls and tries to prosecute ex-Khmer Rouge members in his government.
His comments were issued as a rebuke to opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who has pledged to convict unnamed members of the government over their alleged roles under the Khmer Rouge regime if his party wins July's election.
"...(Civil) war will erupt if they (the opposition) win the election," Mr Hun Sen, 62, said in a speech broadcast on national radio. -AFP.
