Cambodian police chief's US visit condemned

PHNOM PENH (AFP) - A US-based human rights group Tuesday condemned Washington's decision to host Cambodian police chief Hok Lundy for counter-terrorism talks, saying he is implicated in numerous crimes.
Cambodia's top police officer will be in Washington Thursday for discussions with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, "even though (he) has been implicated in what the FBI itself has classified as a terrorist act," Human Rights Watch said.

The group was referring to the 1997 grenade attack against anti-government demonstrators which killed at least 19 people and wounded more than 120 others.

The FBI officially called the attack an act of terrorism.

"According to information Human Rights Watch has shared with the US government, Hok Lundy was part of a conspiracy to carry out" the attack, the group said in a statement.
