Islamic state fighter says he was recruited in Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. 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. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Islamic state fighter says he was recruited in Cambodia

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Neil Prakash originally claimed to be a Cambodian national called Piseth Duong when he was arrested in Turkey. His mother is Cambodian and his father, Fijian. He is presently being given consular assistance by the Australians in return for information. Actually what he said was this:
Prakash reportedly told Turkish police he was “the son of a Buddhist family and later I chose becoming a Muslim while I was in Cambodia as a result of viewing videos posted by Daesh on the internet”.

I wonder which videos they were that attracted him? Maybe the public executions or the suicide bombing or torture videos? What's not to like about that? 8) :hattip:
He's not Cambodian anyway, he's Australian. Fake news.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
