Two Khmer Rouge Officials Arrested

Cambodian police Monday arrested the ex-foreign minister of the Khmer Rouge regime and his wife on charges of crimes against humanity, officials said.

Ieng Sary and his wife Ieng Thirith were arrested at their home at dawn, becoming the latest figures from the 1970s government to await trial before Cambodia's U.N.-based genocide tribunal.
