Cambodia rejects US report on riot
The Cambodian Government has rejected a United States report on its failure to prevent anti-Thai protests in the capital from turning violent last January.
A foreign affairs ministry spokesman said the issues were outdated.
The spokesman said the report ignored the effort made by the government for the reparation of relations between Cambodia and Thailand.
The United States has reacted with dismay to what it sees as a rise of politically motivated violence in Cambodia. The probe, delivered to the US Congress late last month, is the most explicit rebuke in a string of official criticisms from Washington of Prime Minister Hun Sen's government.
It charges that the government failed to take decisive action to protect Thai diplomatic premises and commercial property.
Thailand downgraded its relations with Cambodia to the charge d'affaires level and expelled Cambodia's ambassador to Thailand in the wake of the riots.
