Troops face off over temple
THAILAND and Cambodia yesterday sent troops and heavy guns to their disputed border, where hundreds of soldiers faced off for a fifth day over an ancient Hindu temple.
Both sides said they were willing to negotiate an end to the stand-off at the Preah Vihear temple, which has raised investor fears of a major confrontation. The site has been a source of tension since the International Court of Justice ruled in 1962 that it belonged to Cambodia.
