As Thailand accuses Cambodia of fresh assaults, will fragile peace hold?
Thailand has accused Cambodia on Wednesday of a 'flagrant violation' of a truce deal to end cross-border fighting, saying Cambodian troops launched an overnight attack on the frontier. The nations agreed to a ceasefire starting on Tuesday after five days of clashes that killed at least 43 on both sides, as a long-standing dispute over contested border temples boiled over into open combat on their 800km (500-mile) frontier. But Thailand's foreign ministry said its troops in Sisaket province 'came under attack by small arms fire and grenade assaults launched by Cambodian forces' in an offensive which continued until Wednesday morning. 'This represents a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement,' a foreign ministry statement said. An evacuee salvages items on Tuesday from her house, which was destroyed during Cambodia's artillery attacks in Sisaket province. Photo: Reuters Thai government spokesman Jirayu Huangsab also reported overnight clashes but said in a statement that 'the Thai side maintained control of the situation' and 'general conditions along the border are reported to be normal' from 8am. Cambodia has previously denied breaking the truce, designed to end fighting which has seen the two countries evacuate a total of more than 300,000 people from the border region.

'Manhattan shooter blamed NFL for brain disease'
'Manhattan shooter blamed NFL for brain disease' Shane Tamura shot dead four people with an assault-style rifle in a rampage at a skyscraper in midtown Manhattan. Photo: Reuters The man who shot four people dead with an assault-style rifle inside a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper was carrying a "suicide note" blaming the National Football League for a degenerative brain disease he claimed to have, New York City's police commissioner said on Tuesday. Police have identified the gunman as Shane Tamura, 27, a Las Vegas casino security officer and former high school football player with a documented history of mental illness. Tamura killed two security guards, one of them a city policeman on security detail, as well as a real estate executive and a business management associate, before taking his own life on the 33rd floor of the Park Avenue skyscraper. An employee of the NFL, which has its headquarters in the building alongside offices of major financial firms, was gravely wounded in the attack, which was the deadliest mass shooting in New York City in a quarter century. The NFL worker was among several people shot in the lobby before Tamura, targeting the football league, used the wrong elevator bank and ended up in the 33rd-floor office suite of Rudin Management, a real estate company that owns the building, city officials said. "A suicide note found in his possession at the scene spoke to a possible motive in the shooting and may explain why he targeted NFL headquarters," Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a video message posted on YouTube on Tuesday. In the note, Tamura "claimed to be suffering from CTE, possibly from playing high school football, and he also blamed the NFL," Tisch said. CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is a degenerative brain disease. The note, Tisch said, mentions a 2013 "Frontline" documentary featuring former NFL players who suffered from CTE, which has no known treatment and can be caused by repeated shaking of the brain associated with playing contact sports. Linked to aggression and dementia, the condition can only be diagnosed conclusively after death. "'Study my brain. I'm sorry,'" Tisch quoted Tamura as having written in the note. The commissioner noted that Tamura had fatally shot himself in the chest. The NFL has paid more than US$1 billion to settle concussion-related lawsuits with thousands of retired players after the deaths of several high-profile players. It has made changes to the sport to mitigate the risk of concussions. Tamura was never an NFL player, but he did play football during high school in California, according to school sports databases. A former coach of Tamura, Walter Roby, told Fox News that Tamura was a "quiet, hard worker" and one of his "top offensive players" on the Granada Hills Charter School team. (Reuters)
