PHNOM PENH, March 12 (Xinhua) -- At least 2 heavy bombs were found underground, when the sewage system was recently restored in a crowded area of Preah Sihanouk county of Preah Sihanouk province, said a police officer here on Thursday.
"The bombs should have been dropped from planes during the civil war period (in the 1970s and 1990s)," said Yen Bunnath, senior police officer of Preah Sihanouk province.
"There could be other bombs nearby," he said, adding that mine clearance experts from the Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) had kept them at their place for detonation.
About 256 people were killed or wounded by mines, bombs and unexploded ordnances (UXO) in 2008, according to the CMAC.
From 1992 to 2008, the CMAC had cleared hundreds of square kilometers of mine or UXO fields, and detonated some 2,415,906 pieces of landmines and UXOs nationwide.

Information change without notice as it become available.
Yet another CPP tactics. And, of course,,the incident was stagged again--just like the past incident involving the general's daughter (kidnapping case). The government must stop lying to the Cambodian people.
don't be surprise to find more bombs on cambodia lands. after all, there was civil war and conflict that went on for years that just ended in around 1998; so, it is expected that people will find left-over bomb and other ordnance left over from the war era. let cmac do their business when found them. god bless cambodia.
Chantrea, Svy Rieng during US bombard!
