Bangkok post (31-8-99)




Border beef-up 
Kanchanaburi - Burmese troops have been asked to increase the number of
patrols
along the border and keep a close watch on those who want to enter the
country.

A Burmese military officer said the order was part of Burma's suppression
drive
against drug gangs operating in the area. 
However, a source at Surasi Task Force's intelligence gathering unit claimed
the order from Rangoon was linked to opposition plans to put pressure on the
ruling military regime on Sert 9.
