The residence of Cambodian strongman and second prime minister Hun Sen was hit on Monday (070/9) by a drive-by grenade attack. Security officials said Hun Sen was not in his home at the time and there were no injuries from the three grenades -- two of which exploded -- thrown into the city centre residence which is rarely occupied. Hun Sen held a press conference at the site shortly afterwards.
