Two hurt in Cambodian grenade attack
Two people have been injured in a grenade attack on the headquarters of the royalist Funcinpec party in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh. The attack came as officials complete the process of registering millions of voters for local elections early next year. The United Nations has already expressed concern about an upsurge in political violence in the run-up to the polls. Two candidates were murdered last month. Funcinpec is a junior party in Cambodia's coalition government. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
