We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else.

Those look like Indian Ghatak assault rifles, pretty unusual here. :?

Chinese kidnappers use them on their victims, so maybe illegal in SHV.
Also, knives, machetes, samourai swords, big sticks etc are sold legally, but can be illegal weapons if you are carrying one in your car or on your motorbike.
