Suspected Khmer Rouge guerrillas attacked UN offices and a government position in southern Kompong Speu and north- western Battambang, a UN spokesman said. A Filipino policeman died of a heart attack and four Bulgarian soldiers were injured, AFP reports from Phnom Penh.
Two Cambodians were killed in the separate attacks, near the scene of a Khmer Rouge assault on a passenger train that had killed at least 13 people the night before. The body of a Japanese policeman who had been killed serving under the UN in Cambodia was returned to Japan yesterday, and Tokyo was reported to be considering pulling its peacekeeping troops out of the country.
