The Khmer National Unity Front (KNUF), also known as the Tiger Liberation Movement and Tiger Head Movement, is a Cambodia-based domestic terrorist group whose objective is to violently oust Vietnamese influence from within the Cambodian government. The KNUF was founded by Sok Ek and receives its "Tiger" nicknames from its symbol, which features three tiger heads. Like the Cambodian Freedom Fighters, the KNUF is reportedly dependent on foreign aid. The group is blamed for two foiled bomb attacks against the Cambodian government's: *Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument on July 29, 2007 *Cambodian Defense Ministry and state-run television station TV3 on January 2, 2009.〔(Phnom Penh Post, ''Bomb plot mastermind faces court today: police'' )〕 ==KNUF Membership== The KNUF is based in Cambodia's Mondulkiri Province and is composed of six to nine armed criminals.
