US ready to provide Cambodia with anti-terror training |
The top U.S. military commander in the Pacific says the U-S is
ready to help train Cambodia's military to fight global terrorism.
Hawaii-based Admiral Timothy Keating says U.S. assistance could
involve sharing information, training in surveillance techniques
and tracking the flow of terrorist finances around the world. The
Hawaii-based admiral spoke in Phnom Penh after meeting with Defense
Minister Tea Banh during a two-day visit to Cambodia. There have
been fears that Cambodia could be used as a base by terrorists
because of its relatively porous borders and poor law enforcement
capability. Keating says the U.S. is anxious to provide whatever
help it can so Cambodian authorities may participate in exercises
and learn lessons the United States has learned.
