WRONG TARGET

The army has never accused Burma of producing narcotics as alleged by a
junta newspaper, according to Gen Surayud Chulanont.

Gen Surayud said the army had never mentioned Burma as a drug or
methamphetamine producer but had said drugs were being smuggled into
Thailand from neighbouring countries.

"Do not force me to have a fight with Burma," said Gen Surayud, responding
to a commentary in which the New Light of Myanmar pointed the finger at
authorities and respected figures in the Thai establishment.
