THAILAND: Thai and Cambodian troops broke a brief cease-fire and clashed for an eighth day on Friday, shattering hopes of a quick end to a longrunning border conflict. The death toll rose to 16.
The fighting eased shortly after dawn and guns were silent the rest of the day as nearly 100,000 displaced residents on both sides waited to see if the worst skirmishes in years between the two Southeast Asian neighbours might finally end.
"I wish both sides could talk, so that there is no more fighting,'' said Boonteung Somsed, a 58-year-old Thai construction worker who fled to the village of Prasat, about 20 miles from the border.
