The United States has condemned the killings of a Cambodian journalist and his son, warning it could have a "chilling effect" on the media ahead of general elections later this month.
The US embassy in Phnom Penh says the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is ready to help Cambodian authorities investigate the drive-by shootings of Khim Sam Bo, 47, and his 19-year-old son .
Cambodia's opposition has condemned the killings, saying they are part of a campaign of intimidation in the run-up to the July 27 vote, which Prime Minister Hun Sen is expected to win.
The attack follows police reports a senior member of the ruling Cambodian People's Party was attacked with acid by an unknown assailant.
