A grenade was thrown into the home of Kompong Thom Provincial Court deputy prosecutor Say Nora on Saturday night but the official escaped injury as he was not at home when the device exploded, police said. Provincial police chief Phan Sopheng said the attack was an attempt by illegal luxury wood smugglers to murder Mr. Nora after his recent efforts to crack down on the illicit trade in the province.

Mr. Nora said he was certain Sunday that the attempt on his life was a response to the 11 seizures of illegal luxury wood that he said he helped carry out over the past few weeks in Santuk district and Stung Sen City. ...
