CAMBODIA-NLF-DRV: Cambodian Press Confirms Foreign Minister's Complaint to the NLF Re Complicity in Insurgency FBIS Book pp. H-1 and 2 (Articles in official journal, Realites Cambodgiennan, 5/18) On May 2, Cambodian Foreign Minister Phurissara mentioned to NLF Rep. Nguyen Van Hieu the matter of "40 inhabitants of Kompong Cham Province who have joined the NLFSV and who are probably engaging in guerrilla activities with arms and ammunition supplied by the NLFSV." Hieu said he would ask the NLF authorities to open an inquiry, but also said the incident was "without a doubt" a maneuver of the US which is doing all it can to destroy the close relationship between Cambodia and the NLF. The same day, the DRV ambassador also told Phuressara that his mission was to strengthen Cambodian DRV friendship "despite the efforts of the US imperialists, who are trying to sabotage this friendship through subversive activities led by the CIA and their special forces." IT: These Cambodian press accounts confirm earlier reports that Phurissara had confronted the Vietnamese Communist reps re NLP complicity in the insurgency. In a public speech, Sihanouk also alluded to what will probably be the standard Communist rebuttal, i.e. Vietnamese involved in Cambodian guerrilla activities are not NVA or VC,but CIA or ARMN agents disguised as such. in late April The Cambodian press/reported the subject of the damarehe--40 Cambodians receiving guerrilla training from the VC in the Thlok Trach area (north of the Parrot's Beak). (This has been the only incident of its kind appearing in the Cambodian press thus far.)
