AT least 14 Cambodian villagers were injured during a dance party in Northwestern part of Cambodia last night after an unidentified man threw a grenade into the party, a military police officer confirmed today.
The incident occurred at 9:15 p.m. local time in a rural Takrey village, Kamrieng district of Battambang province, about 300 kilometers Northwest of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, Gen. Por Vannak, chief of the provincial military police, said.
"They were all villagers who danced to celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year when an unidentified attacker threw the grenade into the dancing place," he told Xinhua over telephone. "It exploded and injured 14 people. Three of them are in critical conditions."
The victims were sent to hospital after the incident. Police suspected that dispute during dancing was behind the attack.
"It was not terrorism, conflict among dancers was suspicious of the attack. We are investigating into the case in order to arrest the perpetrator for legal punishment," he said.
