Opposition claim in no-confidence debate
>BANGKOK: Thailand's political opposition claimed yesterday that an
>associate of Osama bin Laden was operating from a Thai base.
>Opposition leader and former prime minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh said
>he had evidence the unnamed suspect had funnelled arms to Myanmar
>activists who took over Yangon's Bangkok embassy in October.
>``From decades of involvement in intelligence penetration operations I
>have obtained tapes. There is a group linked to international
>terrorists, one member of which is in Thailand,'' said Mr Chavalit, a
>retired general, on the fifth day of a marathon no-confidence debate.
>``There is concrete evidence this man is wanted by a Cambodian court,
>and he has links with Osama bin Laden and he provided arms to the
>Myanmar embassy gunmen,'' he said.
>Bin Laden is accused of masterminding bombings at two US embassies in
>Africa last year.

>NAP leader claims Surin helped fugitive
>THE opposition fired its last salvo yesterday in claiming that an
>associate of alleged terrorist Osama bin Laden -- the Saudi national
>said to have supplied arms to the dissidents who stormed the Burmese
>Embassy in October -- is taking refuge in Thailand.
>Undeterred, Chavalit said he had acquired the tape from his connections

>Continuing his attack on Surin, he said: ''There is a political group in
>Cambodia that Surin is aware of. He may not necessarily be associated
>with it but the group is mobilising foreign funds to finance its
>activities in Cambodia.
>''That's why the group is associated with international terrorism and
>Osama bin Laden,'' Chavalit said, with apparent reference to Cambodia's
>opposition party, the Sam Rainsy Party led by maverick Sam Rainsy.
>''It is believed that this group helped provide arms for those Burmese
>dissidents who seized the Burmese Embassy in Bangkok in October.''
