Cambodian attempted boomers go on trial
2002-02-18
  • A third batch of Cambodians, including a computer engineer with U.S. citizenship, went on trial on terrorism charges stemming from a crackdown on an anti-communist group accused of plotting to overthrow the government. Each of the 20 defendants, including Cambodian-American Gilbit Sao, appeared briefly before the judge at a Phnom Penh court to formally confirm identification. This is the third trial of men and women accused of having ties to the obscure Cambodian Freedom Fighters, which claimed responsibility for a bungled November 2000 grenade attack on government buildings in Phnom Penh. Six attackers and one civilian were killed in the attack, which did little damage to the buildings or property.
    If you're not a Communist, and you're not an Islamic nut bag, stay away from the terrorist stuff. You don't have the aptitude for it.

    #1  As a response to the statement, "If you're not a Communist, and you're not an Islamic nut bag, stay away from the terrorist stuff. You don't have the aptitude for it." I agree with it. However, some of the people who were accused may really be innocent of it and never had such erroneous idea to cross their mind in the first place. There seem to be some kind of conspiracy going on. Perhaps the true motive to this whole ordeal is something deeper than the obvious. Considering how corrupt, greedy, and twisted the Cambodian government are, did you really think they would care to give a "just" trial? They're just finding ways to throw in anybody they can whom they think could be a ransom for some US dollars. Again, conspiracy, conspiracy. I believe some of the people convicted NEED to have a fair and just trial. As DR. MLK had stated, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
