Fighting has again broken out along the border between Cambodia and Thailand in an area close to the Preah Vihear temple - a UN World Heritage site. The 11th Century Hindu temple belongs to Cambodia under a 1962 international court ruling that is disputed by many Thais.

The Preah Vihear temple has been at the centre of a border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia for more than a century.

The temple was built mainly in the 11th and 12th centuries, when the Khmer empire was at its height. Its construction was ordered by the kings who commissioned Cambodia's most famous temple at Angkor.

Maps drawn by Cambodia's French colonial rulers and Thailand - or Siam as it was then known - showed the temple as belonging to Cambodia, but in later decades Thailand said the maps were not official and were therefore invalid.

In 1962 the International Court of Justice granted the temple to Cambodia, but Thailand claimed much of the surrounding land, leaving Cambodia's only access to the temple up a steep hillside.
