Weeks of artillery exchanges around Preah Vihear and Ta Moan Thom kill more than twenty

From late April into early May 2011, Thai and Cambodian forces fought weeks of artillery duels around Preah Vihear and the nearby Ta Moan Thom and Ta Moan Toch temples. More than twenty soldiers and civilians on both sides were killed and tens of thousands of villagers were displaced before a ceasefire held.
