All three missing Cambodian UN peacekeepers ambushed in the Central African Republic (CAR) were found dead, a Defence spokesman said here on Wednesday. This has brought the death toll of Cambodian troops in the attack to four, Xinhua news agency reported.

"I'm sad to announce that the three missing Cambodian peacekeepers in a Monday's attack in the CAR was found dead on Tuesday about two km from the scene," Chhum Socheath, a spokesman for the Cambodian National Defence Ministry said.
