A Thai army colonel says one of their soldiers lost his leg after stepping on a landmine while patrolling the border near the Preah Vihar temple.
Both Thai and Cambodian army officials deny media reports claiming that Thai soldiers are being held on the Cambodian side in a stand-off over the temple.
Earlier three Thai activists detained by Cambodian troops for climbing over a barbed wire fence to try and plant a Thai flag at the temple site, were released after a Thai delegation, which included soldiers, crossed the border to negotiate with their Cambodian counterparts.

To author. We don't need to cross out the word Hindu. We Khmer know our roots and appreciate the influence of our brother the Hindi culture. Only some people who are ungrateful and ignorant about Khmer history to believe Hindu means Indian.
We Khmer followed Hindu religion for a thousand years before turning Buddhism into national religion and we still revered Hindu elements in Buddhism.
Don't fall into ignorant words of some ignorant people.
