Chhun Yasith (aka Cambodian Moses) was born in the Kingdom of Cambodia, he is a Cambodian American.





Biography


He left Cambodia fleeing the Khmer Rouge and immigrated to the United States in 1982.





He became a tax accountant in Long Beach, California.





In 1988, he returned to Cambodia and joined the opposition Sam Rainsy Party. He then left a year later after becoming convinced that the non-violent opposition was ineffective.





In 1998, he established the Cambodian Freedom Fighters (CCF) an exiled anti-communist organization and serves as their President.





On June 22, 2001, the Cambodian Criminal Court handed down their verdict on the Cambodian Freedom Fighters attack on November 24, 2000, he was found guilty in absentia and sentenced to life on charges of conspiring to commit terrorism along with Richard Kiri Kim and Thong Samien.





Currently the government of Prime Minister Hun Sen has issued an international Interpol warrant for Chhun Yasith's arrest. He has been unable to persuade the US government to arrest Yasith, however, because the US has no extradition treaty with Cambodia. Yasith has been allowed to stay in the US on the condition that he cease all involvement in terrorist related activity. It is believed the US-led global war on terrorism in response to the events of September 11, 2001 has left Yasith little choice but to remain inactive. Due to these facts, most resources believe no further attacks are expected.








Nothing new to state.
