Bangkoktraveler Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Grenade Attack Hits Bangkok International Airport, AFP Says Bangkokâ??s main international airport was rocked by an explosion today as a grenade was thrown at anti-government protesters, Agence France-Presse said, citing local television reports. Three people were wounded in the blast at Suvarnabhumi Airport, which was stormed yesterday by protesters demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat, the news agency reported. Two other people were injured when a grenade was tossed into a crowd of anti-government protesters picketing Bangkokâ??s Don Mueang airport where the prime minister has temporary offices, AFP said, citing unidentified police officers. Three more people were wounded when two grenades were tossed into a crowd of pro- government supporters on a road leading to Don Mueang. The Peopleâ??s Alliance for Democracy group is demanding Somchai resign to take responsibility for deadly clashes between police and demonstrators last month. Thousands of PAD activists yesterday occupied Somchaiâ??s temporary office, three months after taking over the official Government House compound in Bangkok.

Bangkoktraveler Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 4 bomb attacks rock Bangkok At least four rounds of bomb attacks rocked Bangkok early Wednesday, injuring at least 12 people. The number of explosions and injuries was still confusing at press time. Three explosions were heard outside the outbound passenger terminal of the Suvarnabhumi International Airport at 4:30 am. The explosion sounds frightened the protesters as police vehicles rushed to the scene. The protesters feared that police would come to violently disperse them. But their leaders managed to calm them down minutes later. Thai PBS reported that four protesters were injured, two severely in the Suvarnabhumi explosions. The fourth explosion happened at 6.30am at the Don Muang Airport, where protesters led by the Peoples Alliance for Democracy were rallying. The figure of injured protesters at Don Muang airport was still confusing. Channel 3 reported that two were injured but Channel 9 reported that five were injured, two severely. Channel 3 added that a grenade was also launched at the protesters but it did not explode. And 2 men were injured by bomb shrapnel and one was shot when a group of men hurled two bombs and fired at the 92.75 community radio station for taxi drivers. Police said the attack happened at 4:30 am. The station was located inside Vibhavadi Rangsit Soi 3 where dozens of PAD guards attacked taxi drivers Tuesday evening. A taxi driver, who identified himself as Watcharin, said he and friends were standing at the mouth of the soi and suddenly heard two explosions and the assailants also opened fire at them. The injured were rushed to the Rajvithi Hospital. The first explosion occurred on the Dusit Bridget in Bangkok's Dusit district at 2 am Wednesday, police said. No one was injured in the explosion which caused a small crack at one side of the bridge. Police found a safety pin of an M26 grenade at the scene. Police quoted eyewitnesses as saying they saw two men on a motorcycle speeding from the direction of the Government House. The pillion rider hurled the bomb to the bridge and they sped away.
