...Prime Minister was quick to disavow the killings, blaming them on unnamed opponents whom he accused of trying to discredit him. The shootings, he said, were "premeditated in nature, with an aim to serve a political purpose, stir up security and blame the government." He has made little secret, though, of his disdain for Funcinpec. Two days before the slaying of journalist Chou, Hun Sen singled out the party's radio station for criticism, accusing it of insulting his own party. He warned Funcinpec that it should monitor its media "to avoid any conflicts...
