The Foreign Ministry will set up a fact-finding committee to investigate how classified documents detailing possible retaliatory measures against Cambodia were leaked to the public.
Thani Thongpakdi, Foreign Ministry deputy spokesman, yesterday said the ministry will seek advice from public prosecutors on a possible lawsuit against Puea Thai Party member Jatuporn Prompan for allegedly violating the 1997 Information Act and a 2001 state regulation.
The leaked documents involved an analysis of Thai-Cambodian relations and recommendations for future actions.
The documents, which were prepared by Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, have been reportedly sent to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, he said.
Mr Jatuporn said yesterday that additional documents that had not yet been revealed to the media pinpointed former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as a serious threat to the country.
These documents outlined action plans, including a range of measures against Cambodia due to its dispute with Thailand stemming from Thaksin.
"The documents mention the root cause of the problem and the elimination of [Thaksin's] influence which means it must be eliminated before the end of 2009 or within April 2010," said Mr Jatuporn.
He claimed the other set of documents also suggested the speeding up of the asset seizure trial against the fugitive leader by Jan 6 next year. But he refused to unveil the documents.
Meanwhile, Democrat spokesman Buranat Samutarak said the government had no plans to attack Thaksin.
He also shrugged off claims by Cambodia that Thailand had sent its troops to encroach on Cambodian territory.

I personally don't like Thai encroach on Cambodia land, but I do thing Hun xen has step over the line and he need to be taught a lesson that he cannot go around and start trouble with other country internal affair.
So go to hell Hun Xen your days is over, have a great hell with your uncle Ho chi min.
I urge all Cambodian armie defected to Thai to save yourself. Don't need to fight for Hun Xen he will kill you all.
I do not belive big war will happen between Cambodia and Thailand. United States is the ally with Cambodian and Thailand. Ally and ally can not attacking each other because if one ally attack all the other allies must come to its defence. Thailand would be attacking itself.
Sam Rainsy Party is the stooj of Thailand. He wants Cambodia to face both Thailand and Vietnam so that we fall on our feet.
The US is Thailand's ally. They pulled out the marine, when Thailand downgraded relations with Cambodia.
Thais never respect the alliance. Khmers fought Burmese for Thai under the allaince, but Thais replied back by taking many more provinces from Khmers. So, I do not trust Thais.
Thief can't be trusted.
The Thais government lies so much,they are confused between information and disinformation among its officials and the people
