Phnom Penh - Further divisions in Cambodia's war crimes tribunal came to light Wednesday after its two senior investigators openly disagreed on when to proceed with cases against five new suspects.

The hybrid UN-Cambodian court, which is tasked with trying those responsible for Khmer Rouge-era crimes, has a dual structure in which local and foreign staff fill equal positions in each of the court's operational areas.

Documents released Wednesday showed Cambodian investigating judge You Bunleng reversed an earlier agreement with his international counterpart to start investigations into the five suspects, none of whom has been named by the court.
