Cambodian PM dismisses claim of a royal involvement with rebels

Cambodia's Prime Minister, Hun Sen, has dismissed claims the half-brother of the country's monarch has been listed as a terrorist and cited for arrest.

Mr Hun Sen says he doesn't believe that Prince Sirivuth would have joined a terrorist movement.

On Tuesday FUNCINPEC leader Prince Norodom Ranariddh claimed that Prince Norodom Sirivuth had been placed on a list of names of alleged members of the outlawed US-based Cambodian Freedom Fighters.

More than 80 C-F-F people have received sentences of up to life in jail for a series of strikes including the botched attempt to oust Hun Sen in a November 2000 coup which left at least eight people dead and 14 injured.
