Jealous Lover Launch Grenade at Ex-Wedding, Kills 9, Injures 30

A jealous lover on Saturday January 25, 2014 launched a grenade attack at his ex-wedding ceremony in Cambodia, killing nine people and wounding 30 others including the bride and groom.

The grenade was thrown as guests danced during the party in central Kampong Thom province, provincial military police chief Horng Thul said.

"They were happily dancing when the grenade exploded," he said, adding that two girls, aged 7 and 14, were among the victims.

He said the bride suffered a broken thigh after she was hit by shrapnel while the groom was injured in his hand.

"We preliminarily suspect another man also loves the bride, and did not want the wedding to happen," Horng Thul said, adding that the police were investigating the attack and that no one has been arrested yet.
