Khmer offer

King Norodom Sihanouk, reversing an earlier vow not to include the Khmer Rouge in the elected Cambodian government, said he would give them senior government positions if they surrendered, AFP reports from Phnom Penh.

The King said the government led by his son, Prince Norodom Ranariddh, would give 'several posts of co-ministers, co-deputy ministers, co-secretaries of state and advisers to 'acceptable' personalities within the Party of Democratic Kampuchea'.
