That's an interesting idea but highly unlikely. The US bombing was ended in August 1973, and the identity of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea/ Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea wasn't revealed till April 1976. Even then he was revealed as "Pol Pot", rubber plantation worker, and it took a bit longer for any outsider to figure out that he was actually Saloth Sar from Kampong Thom. Until then it was thought that well-known figures such as Norodom Sihanouk, Khieu samphan, Hou Youn, Penn Nouth and Hu Nim headed the organization.henryhungfunny wrote: Lots of bomb craters all around Kompong Thom.Maybe more than any other other place in Cambodia.Could be the fact Pol Pot was born about eight K downstream from Kompong Thom on the Stung Sen.
One other point is that most of his family that survived in Kampong Thom have said he never came back there and they never saw him after he went to join the maquis in the early 60s. I think he had a cousin who was given a high-ranking role in the organization, but the rest of his family got no special treatment.
His older brother, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saloth_Chhay
