Police and officials from Cambodia's UN-backed genocide tribunal have taken former Khmer Rouge Foreign Minister Ieng Sary into custody.
The former leader was detained after police surrounded his home in Phnom Penh early in the morning.
He will be taken before judges who will decide if he should face charges.
Ieng Sary was the brother-in-law of Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot. Some one million people are thought to have died under the Khmer Rouge's 1975-1979 rule.
The former foreign minister is the third senior official to be targeted by the tribunal.
Former Khmer Rouge second-in command Nuon Chea and former prison chief Kang Kek Ieu - also known as Duch - have both been charged with crimes against humanity.

Nuon Chea or Camarade Rat Samoeun said ECCC should arrest these camarade too:
Camarade Hor Nam Hong, Keat Chhon, Soc Anh, Hun Sen, Heng Samrin, Chea Sim Hor Nam Hong and much more, are the members of Khmer Vietminh (Ah Kbal yuon Khluon Khmer) or Ah khmer-Yuon formed 1951 and 1954 that's the real Hanoi servants.
They Must be summoned by the KRT and they will be arrested as Duch, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Ieng Thirith.
Otherwise, KRT conducting unfair trail or bias of political partism.
Because, They are all Khmer Rouge, to be fair.(si kuy teav tieng oss khnea ouy 2-3 neak chenh loy mdech kert?)
Ta Mok, quietly told some people before he died, saying Soc Anh is yuon srok Kirivong since vietminh control the area in 1968. Whom now Hun Sen's Master mind.
Any way Pol Pot Group, CPP Party and Sihanouk All "Pouk Ah Bomb Plainh Cheat" Soth Te Pouk Ah Kro Bei Prey.
