PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Thailand vowed it was ready to respond militarily if attacked by Cambodia after its smaller neighbor issued an ultimatum for Thai troops to pull back from disputed border territory by midday Tuesday. Thailand moved more troops to an area nearby late Tuesday, but strictly as a defensive measure, said a senior Thai army officer. The troops on both sides remained only about 100 yards apart, said Gen. Viboonsak Neepan, the Thai Army commander for the region. “We have sent more troops to be stationed near the area but only enough to resist (an attack). We will not attack first,” Viboonsak said. —-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
