The American embassy in Phnom Penh says human remains uncovered in Cambodia
last month are unlikely to be those of missing war photographer Sean Flynn.
The statement conflicts with claims by people who dug up the remains.
On Thursday last week, 27 journalists and photographers who covered the
Cambodian war of the early 1970s gathered in Phnom Penh for their first reunion
since the Khmer Rouge took over the country in 1975.
Among their reasons for returning was to hold a ceremony marking the deaths of
37 of their colleagues between 1970 and 1975.
Perhaps the best-known of those who disappeared was Flynn, a US war
photographer, and son of Australian-born Hollywood star Errol Flynn.
Sean Flynn disappeared 40 years ago this month, along with US colleague Dana
Stone.
It is thought they were captured and eventually killed by the Khmer Rouge.
Last month two amateur bone-hunters made world headlines when they claimed they
had found Flynn's remains.
But the US embassy in Phnom Penh scotched that claim on Monday.
Embassy spokesman John Johnson said the US government's missing-in-action (MIA)
team has tested human remains handed over by the two men and found they are not
of Caucasian origin.
The announcement came as the group of reunited journalists headed to Vietnam
for the 35th anniversary of the fall of Saigon.

As of today,Cambodia is still occupied by the Vietnamese troops despite the
call from the US president to Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia since

Cambodia needs Independence from Vietnam and the Vietnamese invaders. Vietnam
must cease her occupation of Cambodia at once.
