Cambodia - Khmer Rouge fighters

(10 Apr 1998) T/I: 10:29:56


The Cambodian government has been sending ammunition and troop re-inforcements throughout the week from their various bases in the north to Anlong Veng in a bid to capture the jungle base of the Khmer Rouge headed by the feared Ta Mok.
Truckloads of soldiers were seen leaving their army bases in Phumi Rossei, 20 km from Anlong Veng, and arms supplies were being loaded onto helicopters from Siem Reap towards the frontline. Only a handful of troops and auxilliary services to help the wounded remained in the bases.
