>BurmaNet has a report that the reasons for the fall of Kawmoora were
>twofold. First was the damage caused by the SLORC's artillary shells
>with delayed fuses. The shells would impact, digging into the ground
>2-3 feet before exploding some time later. The second reason,
>according to this report, is that the Thai military had reached an
>agreement with the SLORC to withdraw some distance from the riverbank,
>allowing the Burmese troops to come through Thailand unhindered to
>strike at the rear of Kawmoora. It is worth mentioning that the source
>is not Karen.
