Pol Pot Reconfirms Presence in Stockholm, Sweden

"I should know where I am better than anybody else. I am very grateful to Komintern who managed to take me all the way to Sweden. I don't want to be involved in the politics of Cambodia any more and am glad to have escaped", Pol Pot told a TASS reporter when he was confronted with reports claiming his exile was faked.

Pol Pot is currently residing outside Stockholm, Sweden. He arrived on Monday June 30 to Arlanda Airport, Stockholm. He is now resting and may announce a press conference later this week. Pol Pot was invited to Sweden by the organization Komintern, and he has no official diplomatic status in Sweden. The Swedish Foreign Department has not been able to confirm that he is not in Sweden.

Itar-Tass, the Russian News Agency, has denied through Reuters that they have spread the story about Pol Pot's exile on their website. This is true, since TASS InfoWerk and TASS Newswire, are NOT affiliated with Itar-Tass.
