Senior Khmer Rouge cadre jailed for mass murder, torture
• ReutersThe first Khmer
Rouge commander to face a U.N.-backed tribunal was sentenced to 35
years in prison on Monday for overseeing 14,000 deaths in the 1970s,
but he'll serve about half that, angering many Cambodians.
Kaing Guek Eav, a 67-year-old former prison chief known as Duch, received less than the maximum 40 years sought by the prosecution for his role in the ultra-communist "Killing Fields" regime blamed for 1.7 million deaths from 1975 to 1979.
