PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA: Cambodia has deported a former U.S. Marine for allegedly making threats against the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh, a senior police official said Friday (29 Feb).
Gerald Forbes, 63, from Hawaii, was deported Thursday (28 Feb) night and banned from re-entering Cambodia, said Lt. Gen. Sok Phal, a deputy chief of the national police.
Police arrested Forbes on 19 Feb after he allegedly threatened the U.S. Embassy as he was venting his anger about what he says is insufficient support he has received from the U.S. government.
Cambodia had placed additional police around the embassy the night before Forbes' arrest.
Embassy spokesman Jeff Daigle could not be reached for comment Friday. (AP)
