Border War in Thailand / Cambodia

Apparently a small border war has broken out between Thailand and Cambodia:
Thai and Cambodian soldiers exchanged rockets and gunfire across their shared border yesterday in a deadly battle over a trifling cause: a small and remote plot of jungle adjoining an ancient Hindu temple.
At least two Cambodian soldiers were reported to have been killed and five Thais and two Cambodians were injured in the afternoon battle at the mountain-top Preah Vihear temple, a tourist attraction and World Heritage Site, which is 1,100 years old.
