East Asia Overview
Since Laos lacks distinct counterterrorism laws, the Office of the Prosecutor General plans to introduce amendments to existing criminal law, under which acts of terrorism fall, to make more explicit the descriptions of and punishments for terrorism-related crimes. In September, Lao courts sentenced two active-duty soldiers to life imprisonment for orchestrating a series of bombings in Vientiane in 2000 and 2002. Laos has continued to seek the extradition of 17 Lao citizens from Thailand suspected of involvement in an armed attack against a Lao customs checkpoint in the southern part of the country in July 2000. Laos suffered many incidents of domestic terrorism in 2003, carried out by groups of unknown identity opposed to the Lao Government. Some of these terrorist incidents were ambush-style attacks against buses and private vehicles, resulting in the deaths of 34 civilians, and others targeted government officials, killing three Lao officials. A group calling itself the Free Democra ... [Read More]

US Department Of State Post Report
Cambodia’s nearly 30 years of war not only caused an enormous loss of human life and hardship, but also left a legacy of landmines and unexploded ordinance (UXO) for future generations of Cambodians. Most of the landmines in Cambodia are of Chinese or Vietnamese origin, and were laid during the years of Vietnamese occupation by all parties. They are concentrated in the west and northwest portions of Cambodia along the Thai and Lao borders. The provinces of Battambang, Banteay Mean Chey, Otdar Mean Chey, and Pailin produce 60% of Cambodia’s present-day mine victims. The vast majority of UXO is in the eastern portion of the country as a result of the American, South Vietnamese and Cambodian bombing and ground operations during the Vietnam War. It should be noted that while the majority of UXO is located here, every province in Cambodia (minus Krong Kaeb) has a UXO problem in some form or another. UXO varies from small caliber ammunition, to mortar rounds and sub-munitions from cluster bo ... [Read More]

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: State Department Noon Briefing, January 30
MR. BOUCHER: In light of what I said before, I would not draw that conclusion. I would say that we have said that this is an unfolding process -- one of careful consultation, of looking at how we decide to move forward. We are having a lot of consultations this week, and we will continue to work with others as we decide. There is no fixed timetable. We just know that this process will be unfolding in a matter of weeks, not months. ... MR. BOUCHER: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Two things I want to note off the top if I can: first, today the Secretary of State is announcing the designation of a group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization under U.S. law. The group is Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, a Sunni Muslim group located in Pakistan. This group is responsible for numerous attacks. Its involvement in the January, 2002, kidnapping and killing of American journalist Daniel Pearl has been confirmed. ... [Read More]
