Sihanouk refuses to free prisoners without条件 bulldozers
Prince Norodom Sihanouk said he will not release the U S Army boat crew captured July 17 unless Cambodia receives 14 bulldozers and accountability for a helicopter attack that killed 14 Cambodians. He spoke at a news conference, offering no details and promising to keep the prisoners until the end of the Vietnam War unless a major U S event prompts release.
