14. The Armed Conflict with Thailand

It explodes on just a few hours after the meeting between Foreign Ministers Hor Namhong and Kasit Phirumya of Cambodia and Thailand respectively. It is at the Preah Vihear Temple. They used not small arms but 105 howlitzer cannon and rockets... Cambodia claims many soldiers thai dead and captured with arms and munitions. Thai minimizes their casualties showing in the press a 50 years old civilian dead.
   Each side blamed the other for starting first... The Nation shows a map, posted in this blog earlier.
Update: Bangkok Posts reports a cease fire was concluded after 2 hours fight and the fight left a Khmer soldier and Thai villager dead. Five Thai rangers are captured by the Cambodian forces

Will see...
