Cambodian police continue to search for suspects in an alleged bombing plot, having arrested since Tuesday a married couple in the border town of Poipet and one man in Kandal province on the outskirts of the capital.

Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said Friday the suspects will be displayed to the public in a press conference at the Ministry of Interior Saturday morning, before being sent to Phnom Penh Municipal Court.

Authorities hope to charge the three with involvement in a plot to explode a series of TNT explosive devices at two government buildings: one in the garden in front of the Ministry of National Defense and two on a street corner near the headquarters of TV3.

Suspect Ty To, 51, who has four different aliases, was arrested in Poipet Tuesday, along with his wife, Houl Kim Lang, 28, while Phy Savoeung, 49, was arrested Thursday afternoon in Kandal’s Kien Svay district.

Khieu Kanharith said police are still looking for additional suspects, including a mastermind behind the plot.

The three bombs were found by authorities on Friday, Jan. 2, and were disposed of by a unit from the Cambodian Mine Action Center that afternoon.

What happened to other cases such as hand grenard attacked during opposition party protest that occured years ago right in the midle of Phnon Penh City, in a clear sky midday,in front of the Khmer and World media, surrended by thousands of people? The last the time I heard, was "Nothing"

Hey, Mr. Khieu Kanharith, if you still looking for a mastermind behind the plot. I think it's extremely dangerous. But I can give you a tiny clue that begin with the letter "H", it means the measurement of gold; and ended with letter "N".
He can freak you out.

I suggest you, don't piss off with him! you, moron. You will let yourself killed. Stay out of this case.!! OK

Hahha...Did I scare you, Mr.Khieu????

I really question the method how these so called masterminds are caught!

I wonder the same thing like other people to what happen to those grenade attacks against the opposition? No mastermind is found?

This could be a setup and show of gov’t capable in dealing with terrorist attack. Public opinion knows that in real event, this would take a long time to investigate in order to apprehend the convict. Some innocents may be use in this case as a scapegoat to camouflage as offenders. It is a tactic that has been used and known to the public in the past. What else is new for this puppet regime?
