Cambodian police have put a US$250 (NT$8,160) bounty on the heads of three monkeys. The monkeys have been terrorizing tourists at a temple in the capital. They have also been destroying nearby residents' laundry, officials have said.
The monkeys, or macaques, have been biting tourists at the famous Wat Phnom pagoda. They have also been tearing up Internet lines.
"There are more than 200 monkeys there, but only three that behave badly ... they behave like gang leaders," deputy district governor Pich Socheata said.

"The other monkeys are afraid of people. But these monkeys are not - they are scaring tourists visiting Wat Phnom."
Authorities have tried several times to get the naughty monkeys to eat eggs laced with sleeping pills. But the monkeys are too smart to eat them! So the authorities have decided that they have to offer a bounty instead.(Staff Writer, with AFP)
柬埔寨警察懸賞兩百五十美元（新台幣八千一百六十元）要三隻猴子的腦袋。這些猴子在首都金邊的一間寺廟恐嚇觀光客。官員們說牠們也破壞鄰近居民的洗衣房。
這些獼猴在知名景點塔仔山（又名鐘形塔）咬傷觀光客。牠們也拆毀網路線。
副區長必希．索奇亞塔說：「那裡有超過兩百隻猴子，不過壞猴子只有三隻…牠們的舉止就好比幫派老大。」
索奇亞塔又說：「其他猴子怕人。不過這些壞猴子並不怕人-牠們嚇壞造訪塔仔山的觀光客。」
當局已試過數次餵食這些頑猴含有安眠藥的蛋。不過這些猴子太過聰明而不吃這些蛋！所以，當局決定要以提供獎賞取代。（法新社╱翻譯：艾利斯）
