Cambodia condemns terrorist attack in Kunming

PHNOM PENH - Cambodia on Monday strongly condemned the deadly terrorist attack in Kunming, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province on Saturday and voiced support for China's measures to crackdown on all forms of terrorist activities, said a statement released by the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"The Royal Government of Cambodia is deeply shocked to learn of the terrorist attack in Kunming City on March 1 that left 29 dead and 130 wounded," the statement said.

A group of knife-wielding assailants indiscriminately killed and injured those civilians late Saturday at the railway station of Kunming.

"Cambodia strongly condemns these cruel crimes," it said. "The Cambodian government fully supports measures taken by the government of the People's Republic of China to suppress and prevent all forms of terrorist acts, and hopes all the attackers will be brought to the court of law for the sake of justice for the innocent victims."

The statement also extended condolences and sympathy to the bereaved families and those wounded in the attack.
