Cambodian soldiers gather near Preah Vihear temple in Preah Vihear province, Cambodia, 09 February 2011. Cambodia said its northern border with Thailand was quiet but tense after calls for calm from Beijing and Washington following four days of clashes there that left at least seven dead and dozens injured. Thousands of civilians on both sides of the border near the 11th-century Preah Vihear Hindu temple have fled the fighting. Each side has blamed the other for instigating the violence, which was sparked by the countries competing claims to land near the temple. EPA/STR
