Both sides 'scrambling to be the hero'

The government and the Thaksin camp have been scrambling to play the hero amid speculation that the alleged Thai "spy" being detained in Cambodia might be released soon.
The suspect's mother was said yesterday to be preparing to visit her son. She was being assisted by the government, but Thaksin's aide Noppadon Pattama claimed she also sought help from the fugitive ex-PM to get her boy home.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva confirmed that tension between the two countries had eased.
He said the Thai government was coordinating efforts to enable Simarak na Kakhon Panom to go to Phnom Penh and visit her son.
