The World : Viet Chemical War Alleged
- Share via
Thailand accused Vietnam of using toxic chemicals in border battles against Cambodian guerrillas and said it will protest at the United Nations. The Thai supreme commander, Gen. Arthit Kamlang-ek, said evidence has been found that rocket rounds fired by Vietnamese forces contained the chemicals. The charge coincided with a claim by the Communist Khmer Rouge guerrillas that 11 of its men are in serious condition from the effects of chemical weapons. The allegations could not be independently confirmed.
