At least seven people were killed and more than 100 others injured as troops battled red-shirt protesters around the Rajprasong rally site in the most violent day since the April 10 bloodbath.​

​

Despite the insistence of the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES) that the general situation was under control, gunfires and explosions were still heard last night at the Bon Kai area. Tyres were burning along the Ratchaprarop Road, which leads to the red shirts' rally stage. Bonfires were also started on Sathorn Road.​

​

The CRES reported four deaths earlier in the evening, but the Erawan Centre of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration later said seven people had been killed and 101 others injured. The toll was expected to climb.
​

Their Majesties the King and Queen offered to cover the medical costs of people injured in yesterday's clashes between security forces and the red-shirt protesters, and financial aid to the relatives of those killed.​

​

Several grenades fired from M79 launchers hit the Ratchaprarop, Bon Kai and Sala Daeng areas. Rumours abounded last night that the red shirts' militant wing, which is loyal to Maj-General Khattiya Sawasdipol, who was shot and critically injured by a sniper on Thursday, would run amok in vengeance.​

​

Key clashes took place in front of the Lumpini Night Bazaar in the afternoon as troops sought to edge closer to the red fortress and reclaim some strategic areas seized earlier. Four people were reportedly killed as a result of the battles in this key area.​

The Rama IV Road was sealed off, making it an eerie space marred by black smoke from burning tyres and occupied by troops and angry, belligerent protesters.​

​

Later, protesters fought troops moving up from the northern side of Rajprasong. Clashes on the Ratchaprarop Road were more intense due to the narrower space, and continued until the evening.​

Earlier in the evening, three or four M79-triggered explosions were reported at Sala Daeng in areas near the Silom BTS station, which had been the <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 0% 50%; -moz-background-size: auto auto; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_0" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_ 0')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underl ine_0')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underli ne_0')" leohighlights_keywords="target" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dtarget%26domain%3 Dwww.nationmultimedia.com" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dtarget%26domai n%3Dwww.nationmultimedia.com" leohighlights_underline="true">target</leo_highlight> of an M79 attack several days ago that killed one and injured several pro-government protesters. No injuries were reported in this latest incident.​

Among those wounded were two Thai journalists and a Canadian reporter, who was in a serious condition but was expected to survive. Nelson Rand, who was working for France 24 news channel, was hit by three bullets, the channel reported. One bullet hit his leg, another his abdomen, and the third hit his wrist. Before joining the French news outlet, he had worked for some time as a subeditor at The Nation.​

​

Yesterday's violence would further cripple the country's tourism industry as it unfolded near several foreign embassies, including those of the US and Japan, which were forced to close. The British, New Zealand and the Dutch embassies, which are in the vicinity, also were shut.​

Ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra issued a statement in the afternoon through his lawyer Noppadon Pattama calling for an immediate end to the use of force, revocation of <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 0% 50%; -moz-background-size: auto auto; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_1" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_ 1')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underl ine_1')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underli ne_1')" leohighlights_keywords="the%20state" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dthe%2520state%26d omain%3Dwww.nationmultimedia.com" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dthe%2520state% 26domain%3Dwww.nationmultimedia.com" leohighlights_underline="true">the state</leo_highlight> of emergency and resumption of peace efforts.​

​

There were also loud bangs in the evening near the red shirts' Rajprasong stage, sending the crowd ducking and protest leaders rushing for cover. Initially there were reports of injuries but later a red leader, Korkaew Pikulthong, told Nation TV he was not aware of anyone being hurt.​

Red leaders were also trying last night to restrain angry protesters who threatened to vandalise some buildings within the encampment. The leaders harshly criticised the government for the measures, with Natthawut Saikua warning that last night was about to become a "great tragedy."​

The CRES blamed militant protesters for the violence, saying the troops were using weapons only in self-defence. Spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said troops had been told to fire low and one bullet at a time. Live bullets, though, were and would continue to be used against protesters violating prohibited zones in a hostile manner.​

​

Yesterday's violence was the worst since April 10, when 25 people were killed and more than 800 injured in clashes between the red shirts and troops at the Rajadamnoen Avenue. Sporadic clashes have occurred since then and yesterday's fatalities brought the death toll so far close to 40.​

Sansern said the government was only attempting to apply blockade pressure on protesters and had no intention of launching a crackdown on the rally site as claimed by red leaders. He claimed some of the militant reds used heavy weapons against soldiers, contributing to the violence once clashes erupted.​

Thai security forces shoot at anti-government Red Shirt protesters during a street clash on May 14, 2010 in Bangkok, Thailand

Thai troops, protesters clash in capital; 8 killed
BANGKOK – Thai troops fired bullets at anti-government protesters, and explosions thundered in the heart of Bangkok on Friday as an army push to clear the streets and end a two-month political standoff sparked clashes that have killed eight and wounded 101.

As night fell, booming explosions and the sound of gunfire rattled around major intersections in the central business district. Local TV reported that several grenades hit a shopping center and elevated-rail station. Plumes of black smoke hung over the neighborhood as tires burned in eerily empty streets while onlookers ducked for cover.

With security deteriorating and hopes of a peaceful resolution to the standoff increasingly unlikely, what was once one of Southeast Asia's most stable democracies and magnets of foreign investment has been thrust deep into political uncertainty. The crisis threatens its stability, economy and already-decimated tourism industry.

Violence escalated after a rogue army general regarded as a military adviser to the Red Shirt protesters was shot in the head Thursday evening, possibly by a sniper. A doctor said Maj. Gen. Khattiya Sawasdiphol was still in a coma Friday and he could "die at any moment."

Clashes since then have killed eight and wounded 101, officials said. Among those wounded were two Thai journalists and a Canadian reporter, who was in a serious condition.

"We are being surrounded. We are being crushed. The soldiers are closing in on us. This is not a civil war yet, but it's very, very cruel," Weng Tojirakarn, a protest leader, told The Associated Press.

Bangkok: A dangerous new phase


Over the past 24 hours the stand-off between government forces and the Red shirts camped out in central Bangkok has, once again, taken a violent turn. The shooting of outspoken Red shirt commander Seh Daeng (Major General Khattiya Sawasdipol) and the death of another Red protestor adds further fuel to what was already a volatile situation.

Like at other times of significant tension in Bangkok we prefer to allow New Mandala commentators to share their views, information and analysis as comments. For the moment there won’t be substantial commentary from the New Mandala team but we look forward to learning from all of you.

It occurs to us that one issue which is probably crucial to the immediate outcome of this dangerous new phase is the capacity and willingness of the Reds to reinforce their numbers at the main encampment or to spread protests to other strategic sites in Bangkok, or throughout the country. Of course, they may not get such a chance. Word coming from central Bangkok right now is that more shooting and explosions can be heard.

Re: BANGKOK: More than 100K at 9pm. Many More Coming. JAMS 50km Long. ArbiSHIT SHITTI

A foreigner who happened to see the sniper assassination of Seh Daeng has made the following statement:




“I was at Sala Deang area near the MRT station. A group of us reported about noise coming from the the Dusit hotel. What looked like a long stick extended from the roof top. Within minutes, the general (Seh Daeng) was speaking to his supporters, offering water to an elderly lady and giving her a hug. Moments later, a shot was heard from overhead. The object had been pulled back and a man with a black hood stood up and walked away. About 5 min. later. A man wearing the same outfit was escorted out of the hotel into a black police van. Quickly, it took off and proceeded to go up Rama 4 and turned left to go towards MBK.

Military officers where seen smiling and shaking each others hands from this killing of this man.

Our party was told by an army officer.

You have seen nothing, go back to your hotel at once or you will be arrested and deported.

He repeated again and again. You’ve seen nothing, nothing to see here. Go back to your hotels.”
