Thailand ‘aiding guerrillas’
NZPA Bangkok The Kampuchean Government has accused Thailand of firing artillery inside its territory, violating its air space, and aiding the guerrillas of the toppled Prime Minister, Pol Pot, in fighting along the Thai-Kampuchea border. Thai reconnaissance aircraft, it said, had violated Kampuchean air space and quoted “Western sources” as saying that Thai authorities had given provisions to Pol Pot soldiers and aided their return to Kampuchea. Thai frontier authorities have in recent days provided some food to groups of Pol Pot soldiers who sought refuge in Thailand from heavy fighting against Phnom Penh and Vietnamese forces. Normally, the Pol Pot soldiers were sent back to Kampuchea by the Thais, sometimes at different points from where they entered.
