Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday threatened to release 11-year-old "spy documents," in an apparent threat to his political rival, Prince Norodom Ranariddh, ahead of national elections.
Prince Ranariddh, who is living in exile and facing an 18-month prison sentence on charges related to embezzling, recently criticized opposition leader Sam Rainsy for withdrawing a suit against Hun Sen. And Hun Sen and the prince have been trading public barbs in recent weeks.
Prince Ranariddh runs a self-named political party that draws from royalist supporters, but Hun Sen has said his ruling Cambodian People's Party will remain political allies with the traditional royalist party, Funcinpec.
Hun Sen threatened to release information linking Prince Ranariddh to the deceased Khmer Rouge commander Ta Mok.
"Now my spy council is making 200 to 300 photocopies of articles and CD-VCDs," Hun Sen said at an opening ceremony for a sprinkler system in Kandal province, though he didn't elaborate on the contents of those documents and did not name Prince Ranariddh specifically.
"If you dare to jump, they will be disseminated," Hun Sen said.

I can not wait to see Krom Preah having sexual intercourse with the Khmer Rouge Ta Mok.
Dear Son Chay and SRP's members!
It is normal for win-win strategy of CPP that has always worked inside each party to achieve their strategic plans.
In case of Cheat Khmer Party, Son San party and finally Funcipec party. This evidence is good example for SRP to keep strong inside.
The accusation of Hun Sen to Son Chhay is hilarious. We know, he is stagging win-win strategy in playing with promenent Son Chhay MP.
From this announcement, Hun Sen can gain follows:
1- Possible division inside SRP
2- Make Funcipec, NRP and SRP quarrel each other.
3- Creating the environ of fear in Cambodian society.
Note: for a virtue political leader, he/she will not announce publicly like this though he/she is their spy or not. They have their ethic in political career. This public announcement is not professional and illustrating only the culture of fear and jeopardizing.
SRP is not easily gullible as this party is not prioritizing on money, wealth or power, but the interests and prosperity of Cambodian peoples.
