KANTARALAK, Thailand, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Thailand and Cambodia agreed on Thursday to conduct joint military patrols on disputed stretches of their border after two Cambodian soldiers were killed in a firefight the previous day, a Thai general said. After several hours of talks with his Cambodian counterpart, Thai regional commander General Wiboonsak Neeparn told reporters both sides would keep their troops and artillery near the disputed 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple.
