PHNOM PENH - A THAI soldier was killed in clashes with Cambodian troops at the two countries' border early on Saturday, bringing the toll to three in the deadliest fighting between the neighbours in almost two years.

Renewed gunfights broke out briefly early in the morning near a disputed 11th-century temple, officials on both sides said, just hours after skirmishes left a Cambodian soldier and a Thai civilian dead.

Cambodia's Foreign Minister Hor Namhong wrote to the United Nations to draw its attention to the 'explosive situation at the border'.

Blaming the fighting on 'flagrant aggression' by Thai troops, he said 'Cambodian troops had no option but to retaliate in self-defence', in a letter addressed to UN Security Council president Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti.

He did not explicitly call for UN intervention.

Thailand, which was to convene an urgent security meeting on Saturday afternoon to assess the situation, said it was also considering filing a complaint to the UN.

Hun Sen is a political tool of Indochina Federation to put Lao and Cambodia under yuon yoke.

It is time to remove Hun Sen before he kills more innocient Khmer people and more yuon in Cambodia than Khmer.

This is a Hun Sen
trick to continue in power.
Khmer people must
remove Hun Sen out of power.Even good
leader when he stays in power for so long,he becomes a
dictator.
Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge leader when he was in the jungle.
Then he becomes
prime minister,he
still uses the laws of jungle again.
So,Khmer people rise up against him and chase Vietnam out of Khmer land.
