The World : Thais to Protest Viet Attack
Thailand said it will lodge a protest at the United Nations over the deaths of six people in a Vietnamese attack on its territory over the weekend.

Six villagers were killed by Vietnamese shelling around O-Bok, about 185 miles northeast of Bangkok, before Thai units pushed the intruders back into Cambodia, the army said.
