![]() Rebels had retrieved the bodies of 12 government soldiers, they said, but gave no details of their own casualties. "They used 200 prisoners as porters," KNU spokesman Tha Na Cee told Reuters from the Union's base. "Several of them, mostly aged between 14 and 17, have surrendered and said they don't want to go back." The KNU agreed to stop fighting in December 2003 but never signed a ceasefire deal. |
