Cambodia has decided to deport a 63-year-old American man who allegedly told journalists that militants were planning a rocket attack on the U.S embassy in the capital, Phnom Penh.

Police say the man, who is from Hawaii, was arrested for sending emails to journalists with details of the alleged threat.

The emails asked the journalists to print the information.

The man, who has since admitted the threat was false, was finding it difficult to live as his U.S military pension had not arrived.

Riot police were reportedly sent to guard the embassy on Monday, when the man said the attack would take place.
