Cambodia - Khmer Rouge guerrillas defect

(10 Oct 1996) T/I: 10:48:10
Hundreds of Khmer Rouge soldiers have defected unconditionally to the Cambodian government, dealing a serious blow to the guerilla movement and increasing pressure on renegade leader Ieng Sary to follow suit. The divisions are based in an area near Samlaut, 80km southwest of Battambang, a Khmer Rouge military base which fell last week.
General Keo Pong, a key player in the latest round of mass defections, defected from the Khmer Rouge earlier this year. He is now the deputy commander of Phnom Penh's military region three.

It was the US bombing in Southeast Asia that contributed to formation of the Khmer Rough. The US bombings killed hundreds of thousands of Laotians and Cambodians.

US and Vietnam helped them when they didn't know them. China did it even after they knew they were genocidal. Cambodia is a place US should have actually went, not Vietnam.
