PHNOM PENH, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- A man allegedly involved in the 2007 explosion of the Cambodian-Vietnamese Friendship Monument and the 2009 foiled bomb plots in downtown Phnom Penh has been arrested, according to national media on Friday.
Banteay Meanchey provincial police chief Hun Hean said that his officers working with the Ministry of Interior caught 46-year-old Ty To at his home on Wednesday and found 53 different bomb-making items there, including TNT and radio devices, English-language newspaper the Cambodia Daily reported.
"(Ty To) told the police that he was involved with the attempt to blow up the Cambodian-Vietnamese Friendship Monument and also with the TNT case on the Russian Boulevard (in Phnom Penh)," the newspaper said.
On Jan. 2, 2009, the police detonated three bombs outside the Ministry of National Defense and the state-run No. 3 TV station.
On July 29, 2007, a small bomb exploded right beside the Cambodian-Vietnamese Friendship Monument. Two men were later arrested to serve terms in prison.
Neither accident caused any damage and casualties.

obviously, the cpp is targeting the opposition again.
This lesson has been taught by his boss, the VN. It is called "making trouble in order to divide and rule".
Wish that these are real culprit.
How about those professional assassins who killed artists, journalists, Union chief, demonstrators and other unarmed and innocent Khmers?
It's Au Chrao or create new Khmer name and stop using decadent Siamese Poi Pet name.
Logic is questionable. Why Au Chrao based anti Yuon movement?
Hun Sen mentioned Tep Khunnal name other day as anti Hun Sen element then.Tep Khunnal lives near Au Chrao,is there anything to imply?
Hun Sen is desperate for attention and making up ploys to sterilize his stooge clique.
I hope not just point finger and arrested them ....Please make sure ...and sure.. looking for finger print..or something that involved with the bomb right
Dont let them become victim like samnang and his fried na...
Khmer P.P
