Thailand and Cambodia to accept monitors for border row

Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to allow Indonesian observers to monitor disputed border territory that has been the scene of deadly fighting between the two nations, an official says.

The agreement was reached at a meeting of the Asean regional group in Jakarta. Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said unarmed observers would be on both sides of the border. At least eight people were killed earlier this month in clashes near the 11th Century temple of Preah Vihear.

The temple - high in mountains which form the border between the two nations - was awarded to Cambodia in 1962 by the international court.
