Blasts kill three in Cambodia

Three women have been killed by explosions in Cambodia

Three women have been killed by explosions in Cambodia.

The two blasts at separate locations in the southern province of Kampot also injured 30 other people.

Both are thought to have been linked to gambling.

The first was at an illegal gambling venue in the provincial capital, also called Kampot, about 87 miles south-west of Phnom Penh.

Believed to have been caused by a grenade, it killed two women and wounded 24 other people, seven seriously.

The second was in a wooden and bamboo shack in the rural district of Kampong Trach. A 37-year-old woman was killed and six other people hurt when unidentified assailants tossed two grenades tied together into the middle of a gambling game.
