Cambodia Denies Border Gun Trade with Thailand
Khmer Times: A senior Cambodian military officer has claimed there are no longer any weapons being smuggled from Cambodia to Thailand, denying Cambodian involvement with the cross-border weapons trade.
Defence Ministry spokesman General Chhum Socheat made the comments after Thai media said authorities had arrested five people believed to be involved with cross-border weapons smuggling.
The smugglers allegedly said they bought the weapons from Cambodia...

Tbose mortars look like they come from the Ming dynasty.
No pics of the 29 AKs with amo then. If they didn't come from the tightly controlled military arsenals, where did they come from?

Probably from the uncontrolled military storage.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

They look like they have had the clocks wound back and been tarted up like an old Lexus import. But are they "no hit".

Refurbed weapons it seems, just as another poster commented on.
Let's ask Bingham where they got those weapons from.
Weapons smugglers to face court
Ros Chanveasna / Khmer Times Share:
A worker for the Cambodian Mine Action Centre and two other men accused of cross-border weapons smuggling from Cambodia to Thailand were yesterday questioned in Banteay Meanchey provincial court.
Provincial deputy police chief Brigadier General Seth Los said Chim Lin, 36, Yim Savy, 38, and Op Virak, 48, spent the day being questioned and were due to appear again today.
They were arrested in Battambang province’s Sampov Loun district on Friday.
Mr Virak works for CMAC and is accused of collecting unexploded ordnances and refurbishing them to sell to weapons smugglers since 2008.
Defence Ministry spokesman Chhum Socheat said military weapons stockpiles had been checked and nothing was missing.
“So we don’t really know where the suspects took the weapons from,” Gen Socheat said.
Last week, Thai authorities seized two 82mm mortars, one 81mm mortar and three 82mm mortar shells from a public minivan in Sakaeo province’s Aranyaprathet district.
They later apprehended five Thai nationals for alleged involvement in the smuggling, who told officials they bought the weapons from Cambodia. This then led to the arrest of the three Cambodian suspects.

And all this because of a car accident in the wrong country. How many more weapons have been driven over borders illegally?
At least it seems a lot of them have left Cambodia. But have they? I was chatting to someond who grew up in an eastern block country who was telling me about all the military grade weapons still around in private hands in his country. Hidden. Stored. Not handed in.
