Cambodia War Crimes Court Indicts Former Khmer Rouge Leaders

The Khmer Rouge tribunal has indicted four senior surviving leaders of the 1970s government that devastated Cambodia.

The tribunal Thursday announced the indictments of Nuon Chea, the Khmer Rouge's chief ideologue, the former head of state Khieu Samphan, former foreign minister Ieng Sary, and his wife, the former social affairs minister, Ieng Thirith.

Their trial is expected to start in the first half of next year. The suspects deny the charges against them.

You Bunleng says the genocide charges relate to the killings of the minority Cham Muslims, and the deaths of ethnic Vietnamese living in Cambodia.
