FBI praises Cambodia on war against terror

The head of the America's national crime fighting agency, the FBI, has hailed Cambodia's role in the US war on terror.

Robert Mueller says the relationship between the countries in addressing the threat from extremists is exemplary.

He made the statement as the agency opened its first office in Phnom Penh amid rising concern over regional extremism.

Mr Mueller is in Cambodia as part of a three-country Asian tour.

His visit follows a series of law enforcement exchanges, including Cambodian National Police Chief Hok Lundy's trip to Washington last April for anti-terror talks with the FBI.
