Khmer Rouge's chief jailer guilty of war crimes

(Updated 1:08 p.m.) PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — A UN-backed tribunal has found the former Khmer Rouge chief jailer guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity and ordered him to serve 19 years in prison. Kaing Guek Eav, also known as Duch, listened impassively as the chief judge read out the verdict Monday. It was the first verdict to be handed down against a senior member of the genocidal regime blamed for the deaths of 1.7 million people during their 1975-79 reign of terror. The court sentenced Duch to 35 years in prison, but shaved off the 11 years he's already spent in detention and five more for cooperating with the court. — AP
