Phnom Penh - Two foreign nationals have appeared in a Cambodian court after an escalating business dispute saw threatening letters sent to three Western embassies, local media reported Friday.
The letters reportedly stated that foreigners with al-Qaeda links would bomb the embassies of the United States, Britain and Australia.
Police spokesman Kirt Chantarith told the Phnom Penh Post newspaper that a Nepali man and a Bangladeshi man had been charged with spreading disinformation.
'We found that this case came from a business dispute, and there is no relation to terrorism,' he told the newspaper.
Spokesmen for the embassies involved declined to comment on the arrests.
