...history of Cambodia over the past 30 years has been a succession of tragedies: war, a horrific "peace"--as many as a million people perished during the "killing fields" rule of Pol Pot's communist Khmer Rouge--followed by a 10-year occupation by neighboring Vietnam. But there was one moment of true hope: in May 1993, 90% of the electorate went to polling booths to elect a government. It seemed that Cambodia was beginning to wake from its nightmare...

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Fearing political unrest in Cambodia, the United States has moved to extradite Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot to stand trial before an international tribunal even before receiving official confirmation of his capture. The United States has already asked Canada to request the extradition of Pol Pot under a Canadian law against genocide, The New York Times reported today, and has offered to provide a military escort to transport Pol Pot out of Cambodia.
