Police report ammo blast near Cambodian PM's home

2009-06-28

BANGKOK (AP) - An accidental explosion at an ammunition dump Sunday wounded at least two people in a Cambodian suburb near the residence of Prime Minister Hun Sen, but there were no immediate reports of fatalities.

Security officials gave slightly different accounts of the blast Sunday evening near the capital, Phnom Penh. Fifteen fire trucks were sent to the scene, said police, but the road was blocked to other traffic 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the site.

A police officer said the explosion occurred at an ammunition dump belonging to the prime minister's elite bodyguard unit and wounded at least five people. However, a military officer said it occurred a slight distance from the unit's camp on a truck that was being loaded with ammunition, injuring two people.

Both officials insisted on anonymity because they are not authorized to release information to the press, and the security of the prime minister is an especially sensitive issue.

The bodyguard unit is based about 100 yards (meters) from the perimeter of Hun Sen's well-guarded residence in Takmau, 12 miles (20 kilometers) south of the capital.

It was not known if Hun Sen was at home at the time of the blast.

How this blast could be linked to Thailand? Or it is just Hun Sen's internal conflict, or it is just a trick Hun Sen created to arrest more people?

Who know the reality?
