Looks like citizens of all sides will take the law — and its restoration — into their own hands: Police deployed to keep security at the PAD areas (!) have “suspiciously” not been stationed there for a couple of nights. While the yellow PAD militia started rounding up “reds.”
Leading to these events — guerilla techniques in the middle of Bangkok:
Early Thursday morning, Oct. 30, a grenade was lobbed against security guards of the People’s Alliance for Democracy at the Makkhawan Bridge, injuring ten of them, reports The Nation. About an hour after the bomb attack, a few gun shots were heard near Government House.
Sounds like some Bangkok reporting from Baghdad downtown. Worse to come? Oh, and a bomb was lobbed into the compound of the house of a Constitution Court judge. Bombs and gun fire attacks against the PAD… maybe you should avoid their territory at night. PAD guards will be killed everyday if they don’t stop occupying Govt House, a pro-Thaksin general says.
No guts to try the Korat way?
