Xinhua reads the Phnom Penh Post.
Police are on the hunt for Japanese terrorists suspected of seeking refuge in Cambodia after decades on the run, national media reported Monday.
According to documents issued by the Phnom Penh police, 14 ex-members of the leftist Japanese Red Army militia and Yodo-go Group, which is best known for the May 1972 Lod Airport massacre in Tel Aviv, have come under investigation by Cambodian police, the Phnom Penh Post said.

Meanwhile, Keo Vanthan, director of Interpol police at the Ministry of Interior, said that he was not aware of any request from the Japanese government asking for help locating the criminals.
“We have previously received one request from Japanese authorities seeking criminals, but not these ones,” he said.
“I couldn’t say whether those are dead or not, since I have not yet received the documents.”
What a peculiar thing to say.
