Comforting words from Australia

This is from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade...

We advise you to exercise caution and monitor developments that might affect your safety in Cambodia because of the risk of civil unrest, violent criminal activity and terrorism.
On 29 July 2007, a bomb exploded in front of the Cambodian/Vietnamese Friendship Monument in the Duan Penh district of Phnom Penh – two other devices failed to explode. While no-one has claimed responsibility, further attacks cannot be ruled out. Pay close attention to your personal security and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks. You should avoid protests, demonstrations and political gatherings as they may turn violent. In the past year there have been human cases of avian influenza in Cambodia.

In reality, it was just a couple of disgruntled Khmer's who dislike the influence of Vietnam in Cambodia...
