A prominent ally of the ousted Cambodian leader, Prince Norodom Ranariddh, has been found dead in mysterious circumstances in the capital, officials said yesterday.

Chau Sambath, labelled a "terrorist" by the coup leader, Second Prime Minister Hun Sen, was one of four prominent Ranariddh supporters targeted for arrest by the country's new regime. On Tuesday, Hun Sen's men killed the new leader's vocal opponent Ho Sok one day after he was arrested. Also on Hun Sen's arrest list are the former First Prime Minister's military commander, Nhek Bunchhay, and his senior security adviser, Serey Kosal. AP - Phnom Penh, Cambodia
