Phnom Penh (VNA) – The Pursat provincial court has sentenced to prison two accused conspirators who were found guilty of the illegal use of armed force to attack Thailand and Vietnam, a local newspaper reported. Thab The and Chan Dara from the so-called Angkor Empire Movement, an alleged plot to launch armed attacks on Thailand and Vietnam from Cambodian soil, were sentenced six and five years in jail, respectively, the Phnom Penh Post said on July 16. The suspects were arrested in May 2007 on suspicion of involvement with the Angkor Empire Movement which, authorities allege, planned to raise an army of 400 to attack Thailand and Vietnam. –Enditem
