Lon Nol's Final Payoff

(ANS/IP)—Former Cambodian President Lon Nol hung or in Pnompenh until his government agreed to pay him $1 million to get out of the country. This information was made public at a news conference held at a refugee camp in California May 7 by Saukham Khoy, who took over for a short time as head of the Pnompenh government.

Lon Nol, who is now living in a $101,500 house in Honolulu, has confirmed through an associate that the National Bank of Cambodia moved on April 1 to transfer the $1 million to his account with the Irving Trust Company in New York.
