The authorities in Bangladesh have criticised a Cambodian court for sentencing three foreign nationals to eight years in jail on terrorism charges. The Bangladeshi embassy in Bangkok says it is extremely disappointed by the verdict, which appears to be based mainly on evidence in an anonymous letter. Last year, Cambodian police arrested three men who allegedly sent a letter to the British, American and Australian embassies in Phnom Penh, informing them of a terrorist attack. Some observers say the case is an example of the poor state of Cambodia's judicial system.
