...leap of faith so far this year, Cambodian leader Hun Sen is asking members of parliament who fled his bloody coup to return and endorse his choice for a new co-prime minister. The offer comes just weeks after Hun Sen took power from former co-prime minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh in a bloody action in which 40 of Ranariddh's supporters were killed in custody, according to the U.N.

...people solve the situation without interference from outside," said Hun Sen in a national television address. But the coup is already having a ripple effect. Association of Southeast Asian Nations members are reconsidering admitting Cambodia to the security organization at its July 23 annual meeting. Ousted First Prime Minister Norodom Ranariddh, who fled to France just ahead of the coup, is expected to arrive in the U.S. Wednesday to appeal for support from Washington and the U.N. Security Council...

...captured him, Royalist government officials now are reluctant to say what they know. Meanwhile, Second Prime Minister Hun Sen, the leader of the formerly communist Cambodian People's Party, coolly dismissed the news as another flimsy attempt by the rival royalist faction headed by First Prime Minister Prince Prince Norodom Ranariddh to get an upper hand in the struggle for Khmer Rouge loyalties.
