Police arrested the top surviving Khmer Rouge leader Wednesday, serving 82-year-old Nuon Chea with a warrant on charges related to his role in the 1970s regime blamed for the deaths of 1.7 million people. Nuon Chea was then flown to the capital, Phnom Penh, where he was to appear before a U.N.-backed genocide tribunal. Some have feared that Nuon Chea and other former Khmer Rouge leaders may die before ever seeing a courtroom. News of his arrest was welcomed by Theary Seng, a Cambodian-American who lost relatives to the Khmer Rouge atrocities.
