The United Nations-backed tribunal in Cambodia has for the first time charged two former leaders of the Khmer Rouge with genocide. A court official said the charges against the two men, Ieng Sary and Nuon Chea, were related to their treatment of Cambodia's Vietnamese and Muslim minorities. The two men were high-ranking members of Pol Pot's government in the late 1970s, when as many as two million Cambodians are thought to have died. Both are already in pre-trial detention charged with crimes against humanity.
