PHNOM PENH, 18 January 2013 (The Cambodia Herald) - The Ministry of National Defense says
the 101st Field Artillery will hold a shooting rehearsal next Friday
ahead of the royal funeral procession on February 1.
In a letter dated Thursday, Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Commander in Chief Pol Saroeun said the rehearsal will take place at Porsen Chey District, where the Special Forces Airborne 911 is based.
He urged residents and authorities not to be "surprised" by the sound of artillery, adding that "cooperation from the people will bring success and high safety."
