ARANYAPRATHET, Thailand (Reuter): The Thai army said yesterday
three Cambodian soldiers were killed after crossing into Thailand
and clashing with Thai troops.

Col. Anuphong Phaochinda, commander of a Thai army task force
based on the Thai-Cambodian border, said some 20 Cambodian
soldiers crossed into Thailand's Ta Phraya district late on
Tuesday with the apparent intention of robbing Thai villagers.

Fighting erupted when the Cambodians encountered a Thai army
patrol, Anuphong told reporters.

The bodies of the three were returned to Cambodia following a
request from the Cambodian army commander based opposite Ta
Phraya, Anuphong said.
