Ieng Sary has repeatedly denied responsibility for any crimes

Ex-Khmer Rouge minister detained


Police and officials from Cambodia's UN-backed genocide tribunal have taken former Khmer Rouge Foreign Minister Ieng Sary into custody.
Ieng Sary and his wife, former social affairs minister Ieng Thirith, were driven to Phnom Penh's special courts.
They will appear before judges who will decide if they should face charges.
Ieng Sary was the brother-in-law of Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot. Some one million people are thought to have died under the Khmer Rouge's 1975-1979 rule.
A special court was established last year to bring surviving leaders of the brutal regime to the dock. Trials are expected to start in 2008.
Two senior Khmer Rouge officials have already been charged by the court.
Pol Pot's second-in command, Nuon Chea, and the head of the notorious Tuol Sleng prison Kang Kek Ieu - also known as Duch - both face charges of crimes against humanity or war crimes.
