...Hanoi-backed government of President Heng Samrin. Vietnamese soldiers destroyed Phnom Chat, a border village sympathetic to the Khmer Rouge, the largest of the guerrilla groups, then pulverized O Samach, a settlement 70 miles to the northeast that served as an outpost for the 30,000 followers of Prince Norodom Sihanouk. During the blitz, however, the Vietnamese aimed their fire not only at the insurgents but at unarmed civilians in both Kampuchea and neighboring Thailand. Hanoi's troops ventured a mile into Thai terrain and shelled several villages and a highway. Charges of atrocities grew last week as witnesses...
...turn. Two weeks ago they demolished Phnom Chat, a border settlement loyal to the Khmer Rouge, the largest of the insurgent groups. Three days later, and 70 miles to the northeast, they leveled O Samach, which is also known as Sihanoukville for its 30,000 followers of Prince Norodom Sihanouk, who was deposed in 1970. The next Vietnamese target will probably be the camps of Ban Sangae and Nong Samet, which house 96,000 civilians and serve as a center for the Khmer People's National Liberation Front.

In striking contrast to the fanatical rigidity of past Khmer Rouge pronouncements, Samphan even proposed a coalition government that might include Prince Norodom Sihanouk and Heng Samrin, who heads the Hanoi-backed government in Phnom-Penh. Then, Samphan said, an election supervised by the U.N. could help to determine the new leadership of Cambodia...
Cambodia's exiled Prince Norodom Sihanouk, 57, has a palace in North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, a residence in Peking and now honorary citizenship in the Maryland town of New Carrollton (pop. 14,000). It was conferred during Sihanouk's visit to greet Cambodian refugees living there and pray with them in a service presided over by saffron-robed monks who later feted their former ruler with cakes and tea. The Prince, who is in the U.S. to generate support for a neutral Cambodia, is also visiting refugee groups to see how they fare in a faraway...
