AP - 29.02.2008

Cambodia has deported and permanently banned an American man for allegedly making threats against the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh, a senior police official said Friday. Gerald Forbes, 63, from Hawaii, was deported Thursday night, said Lt. Gen. Sok Phal, a deputy chief of the national police. Immigration police put Forbes, a former U.S. Marine, on a plane bound for Singapore, Sok Phal said, adding that the government also banned him from re-entering Cambodia. Police arrested Forbes Feb. 19 after he allegedly made a threatening remark against the U.S. Embassy in venting his anger over insufficient support he has received from the American government.
