Suicide bomber in Kampong Cham

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.

Suicide bomber in Kampong Cham

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Kompong Cham Province: A former military official committed suicide by embracing a bomb and causing a burial of dead intestines on the stairs of his house in front of his house. It happened at 5:30 pm on December 16, at the victim's home in Khang Village, Damay district.
The man waited until his wife and children were out tending to their cows, then blew himself up inside his house. There was a big explosion and the neighbors came to investigate before calling the police.
The victim, named Thuy Yong, 62, had a previous history of mental health issues.RIP.

Oh, so it wasn't aimed at anybody and has NO religious overtones?

OK. Sounds a bit sensational, though. See my renamed title?

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

The following lines from the local news explain the reasons for his death well enough.
[Mashed translation]
18 December 2017
- Brigadier General Doung Nhea, deputy police chief of Bavet district, said that the man had served as soldiers during the late 1980's, while the country Cambodia broke the civil war on the Thai border after 1979. At that time, Thuy Duong was injured by a shrapnel, causing tetanus to be permanent.
Today. The reason for this man's suicide was that he was upset with the disease, so the bomber blew himself up to suicide. End of life.

So, another title could have read:

"Re: *Lone, Isolated* Suicide bomber in Kampong Cham *Kills Only Himself* *Over Illness*"

facts follow it


focus energy on the fact a man who was suffering most of his life died not on faux umbrage at choice of title maybe?
