A fifth suspect was arrested last week in Banteay Meanchey province and charged in connection with the foiled bomb plot on Jan. 2 in Phnom Penh, national media said on Monday.
Fifty-seven-year-old vendor Pov Sovannara "is the fifth person arrested in link with the Tiger Head Movement, which planted explosives in the city on Jan. 2," National Police spokesman Kieth Chanthearith was quoted by English-Khmer language newspaper the Cambodia Daily as saying.
Pov Sovannara was charged on Sunday with "conscripting and training terrorist forces and planting explosives in public places" and more suspects will be named later, according to Kieth Chanthearith.
In January, four other Tiger Head Movement members were arrested for the same plot and also faced the same charges.
Three small explosive devices were found near the Defense Ministry and the state-run Television Station No. 3 and later safely detonated by de-mining experts on Jan. 2. The government claimed that the anti-government Tiger Head Movement was behind the foiled plot.

As a Khmer I am not ashamed to say I absolutely don't trust the Khmer Police.
AH HOK LUNDY was a big liar and a big killer. His men are the same as him.
Thank you to all officers for doing a fine job in bring in all of the perpetrators. However, we should not forget to look oversea for the master mind of all this, and we should work with our allies (the US and the EU) to cut of their funding and bring them to justice for the crime again Khmer people.
If this movement is real, then the government have every reason to be scared. What the government is doing to the general public is giving birth to so called arm movement. May Buddha bless the movement.
May be a group from Washington State call KPCF something like that.
The so-called terrorist group is not the Tiger Head Movement. The real terrorist group in Cambodia is CPP itself. They plan the bomb and then accuse the innocent people about planning the bomb. Their Hanoi tactics have been applied to Khmer people. When Khmer people try to rise up against the devil CPP regime, they call them terrorist. Who doesn't know around the world that the real terrorist regime is CPP. Only their supporters do not think so.
