BANGKOK/PHNOM PENH (Reuters) -Thai Army Second Lieutenant Baramee Sricha was on a patrol near a disputed stretch of the border between Thailand and Cambodia on July 16, when a member of his team stepped on a landmine that detonated, severing his ankle.
The incident was a catalyst tofive days of hostilities between the neighbours, which ended with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. It also sparked a diplomatic row over PMN-2s - a Soviet-origin anti-personnel mine that litters parts of Cambodia and which Phnom Penh and Bangkok have pledged by treaty not to use.
