Half a century after United States B-52 bombers dropped more than
500,000 tonnes of explosives on Cambodia's countryside Washington wants
the country to repay a $US500 million ($662 million) war debt.

William Heidt, the US's ambassador in Phnom Penh, said
Cambodia's failure to pay back the debt puts it in league with Sudan,
Somalia and Zimbabwe.
