Shooting at Boeung Kak Lake Last Night

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.

The Bodyguard Unit's standard issue rifles are Norinco QBZ-97 and CQ, made in China. Many high ranking officers have pistols like Glocks/ Berettas etc, they are seriously expensive here though, like $3000.
yes, but mr plod traffic policemn is most likelt to have nothing or an antiwue in his holster, as do many of the gendarmeries. A few officer will have fancy piece, depending on how much corruption they can get away with but what we need to work out the original comment that the best guns are used for the wordt purpose is to find out what weapons were used and whether they were government issue chinese pistols or privately owned

What is "antiwue"? This wasn't a traffic cop anyway, it was a municipal anti-drug police officer.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
