PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA: Cambodia will deport an American man who was arrested after allegedly making a comment threatening the security of the U.S. Embassy, a senior police official said Wednesday (20 Feb).
The man told police he was a U.S. war veteran and was venting his anger over insufficient support he has received from the American government, said Lt. Gen. Sok Phal, a deputy chief of the national police. He declined to reveal his name.
Sok Phal added, however, that the man - arrested Tuesday (19 Feb) night - appeared disoriented.
"We will deport him and ban him from entering Cambodia again," Sok Phal said.
The arrest occurred as part of an investigation into a purported threat that prompted the deployment of additional Cambodian security personnel around the embassy in the capital, Phnom Penh, Monday (18 Feb) night.
Embassy spokesman Jeff Daigle said more guards were brought to the embassy after it received information concerning security. He declined to discuss the nature of the information or how it was obtained and would not comment on the arrest.
Daigle said the embassy did not feel the information amounted to a threat, but that the Cambodian police decided "to put a few extra officers around the embassy just for that evening."

Congratulations on the apprehending an alleged suspect involving in the security threat!!. It really shows the virtuosity of the National Police Department in fighting against terrorism.
There were numerous dead threats to journalists and public servants in Cambodian, nothing was done in term of the investigation.
Cambodian people urge the national investigators to conduct the investigatons into those dead threats so that those perpetrators can be apprehended and brought to justice. I can assure you that Cambodian people will not have despair in the police Department.
Congratulation!
Well the person shall not be tolerated for his intention to create chaos in host country. He should do it in his own country if he is not happy with his government.
CHAOS=a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order...This situation is not very chaotic.
"He should do it in his own country if he is not happy with his government"...so if Cambodians in the USA don't like what the cambodian government are doing, does that mean that they are not allowed to protest at the Cambodian embassy in Washington? Can someone from Burma not protest at their embassy?
I can't blame the American Vet because he lives on fix income and he has bill to pay! Please send the money quickly and on time next time because he doesn't have many more years to live and to enjoy what is on Earth!
