Cambodia's foreign minister has summoned Thai diplomats asking them to reject claims by a Thai general that Cambodian Muslims have links to the regional extremist group Jemaah Islamiyah.

Foreign Minister Hor Namhong says it is an accusation the Cambodian government cannot accept.

He says there is no JI group in Cambodia and that Cambodian muslims support the government.

A senior security adviser to the Thai prime minister says a group of Cambodian muslims with links to JI are in the country.

He accuses them of plotting to stage attacks in support of an Islamic separatist insurgency in southern Thailand.

Hor Namhong should call Vietnamese Embassy in Phnom Penh to clearify the situation of human rights violation toward indigenous Khmer Kampuchea Krom people too.

Why CPP government targets only Thai? To be legal, CPP government has to summon any neighbor countries to question relating issues with Cambodia.

Vietname involves with illegal immigrants, Montangard and KK.
