Thais protest at U.S. embassy BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - More than 100 Thai environmentalists gathered at the U.S. embassy Wednesday to demand that the United States take responsibility for cleaning up some toxic Vietnam-War chemical defoliants recently discovered at a provincial airport. They presented an embassy official with two sacks of dirt which they said was contaminated soil. Drums of buried chemicals were found by workers expanding a runway at a provincial airport, near the seaside resort of Hua Hin. The workers renovating the runway fell ill, and fears arose that the chemical might be Agent Orange dumped by U.S. military units who were stationed there in the 1960s and 70s.
