Sansern: No cluster munitions used [by Thailand]

10/02/2011
Bangkok Post

Thai troops did not use cluster munitions during the clashes with Cambodian troops, as claimed by Cambodian leader Hun Sen, army spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said on Thursday.

Col Sansern then accused the Cambodian army of using cluster munitions against Thailand.

Sgt Thanakorn Poonperm sustained shrapnel injuries to his head and later died in hospital. The shrapnel was from a cluster bomb, the spokesman said.

The Cambodian army claimed that cluster munitions found along the disputed border area were fired from the Thai side.

Amnesty International earlier said firing cluster munitions into residential areas is a violation of international human rights standards.

I think Thai needs medical check up and candies. When they have candy inside their mouth, they surely know that they acted like children.

youre a cry baby. and stupid. you dont know what youre saying.

wait until it gets available. Be thankful because KI MEDIA gives you the information you are reading right now.and the right for you to say anything and express yourself.

you cant do this to other online news in cambodia.

how really stupid you are, you are more interested to see what happened to the enemy's side, rather than see how your own people is doing.

I would like to appeal to all our compatriot Khmer bloggers, pro-government, opposition and neutral alike. While it is understandable that some of the fiery comments and insults/accusation expressed by some of you are the results of frustration/anger against Thailand (I should say Thai government) aggression. Some are also frustrated by the way CPP-led government is handling the situation. However, this is time to unite (the joint visit by National Assembly members with all parties represented and Hun Sen thanking all parties and civil society for their support are already a good start). It is also the time when we need the support of international community and should show that Khmers area civilised and not barbarian or sub-category people as some arrogant people in neighbouring countries want to label us. Because of latest events, more and more people in Asia, including in Thailand, and around the world will be looking in the different web forums for information about this conflict.
Please try to avoid being vulgar and trade insults. It would beneficial to all if objective comments, constructive suggestions/criticisms area made. The different forums play essential role to share and cross-check information and counter Thai government propaganda. Keep in mind that not all Thai and Vietnamese (see, I refrain to say “yourn”) people are bad. I dare hope that many of them want to live in peace with mutual respect. We are condemned to be neighbours indefinitely and cannot treat each other as enemy for ever. We should distinguish in our comments to point at the criminal warmonger and politicians and not attack/insult general population or races. They are victims on both sides of the borders. Instigating general hatred among Khmer, Thai and Vietnamese population is for the benefit of none.
If you check the Thai media, there is a lot of disinformation and manipulation. Fortunately, you can see also some comments by Thai citizens questioning Thai actions and condemning this non-sense aggression.
KI media, while I appreciate your forum, some of your sarcastic comments are too subjective, childish and one-sided. It doe not bid well for an objective and constructive opposition. But good job quand même for stimulating the debate. Sorry for my poor English. Best wishes to all

Cambodians shouldn´t bekieve that all Thai people hate Cambodia.

Many Thai people feel ashamed about their own government, they know it is a dictatorship.

The conflict is NOT between Thai and Cambodia, but between dictators from both sides.

They both believe to play the "nationalistic card" will let them win the coming elections.

Instead of admitting that they used cluster bombs, now they are accusing cambodia used it.
What's a pathetic !

It is no doubt that Thai troops did use cluster munitions during the clashes with Cambodian.
