Pakistanis among 47 teachers deported from Cambodia
HNOM PENH: Over half of the 47 foreigners ordered out of Cambodia after the authorities broke-up an alleged terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda have left the country, a government spokesman said on Friday. Sok Phal, information director for the interior ministry, said 21 people had left Cambodia on Thursday, another five left on Friday morning and a further 11 were expected to leave by early Saturday. âSo far 26 out of 47 foreigners have left Cambodia,â he said. âThe rest are in Phnom Penh but before their departure they will declare themselves to the foreign office.â
| Or else. You know when I said we've got to be more vicious than the Islamists if we're going to defeat the Islamists? The smiling, civil Cambodes are more vicious than the Islamists. |
Prime Minister Hun Sen ordered the deportation of 28 teachers and their families, all from the Middle East and Africa, after an Islamic school was shut down amid allegations terrorists were using it. Teachers and their families, from Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria, Egypt, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, were given until 6:00 am Saturday to leave.
