[color:red]Additional documents from the Foreign Ministry outlining a plot to eliminate former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra will be made public on Wednesday[/color], when the government delivers its 12-months-in office report to the people, red-shirt leader Jatuporn Promphan said on Monday.

The Puea Thai party-list MP had earlier promised to reveal the documents yesterday.

 

Mr Jatuporn said it was not correct he had delayed his exposure of the evidence because the documents were unclear.

The new date was intended to counter the government's delivery of its first-year-in-office report on Dec 23.

 

He said the had none additional pages which clearly outlined Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya's suggested steps to be taken against Thaksin.

 

Mr Kasit had said earlier the documents do exist but contain only an assessment of the situation,

 

However, the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship leader said they actually outline a "plot" to eliminate the fugitive former prime minister.

 

Mr Jatuporn last Friday leaked the first set of documents which contained an analysis of Thai-Cambodian relations and recommendations for future action in dealing with Cambodia. The documents were sent to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

He said on Monday the additional documents he would reveal on Wednesday tell all about Mr Kasit's attitude towards Thaksin.

Jatuporn reveals more papers

 

Puea Thai MP Jatuporn Promphan on Wednesday made public an additional nine pages of a classified document he claims to have been prepared by the Foreign Ministry and outlining proposed action against Cambodia.

 

The pages shown by Mr Jatuporn at a press conference proposed taking three steps to counter the actions of the Cambodian prime minister. This included delaying Thai-Cambodian cooperation projects and reinforcement of troops along the border, particularly near the Preah Vihear temple.

 

The papers also proposed tough action against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is now economic adviser to the Phnom Penh government and is being protected by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.

 

Mr Jatuporn, a leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, on Friday released what he said were the first pages of Foreign Ministry document. They focused on how Thailand should handle its relations with Cambodia and described Thaksin as a "key factor" in the destabilisation of the government that must be eliminated.

 

Mr Jatuporn interpreted it as a threat to Thaksin's life.

Mr Jatuporn said on Wednesday that he did not regard the document he had revealed as confidential since it was illegal, an interference in the judicial process and in violation of the constitution.

The UDD leader dared the Foreign Ministry to take legal action against him, saying he would launch a counter suit.

 

This matter would also be used to grill Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya during the coming no-confidence debate parliament and to seek his removal from office, he added.

 

He said the document which had been revealed would be translated into English and published on Thaksin's twitter website.

 

Chavanond Intarakomalsut, secretary to Mr Kasit, said the Foreign Ministry had consulted with the Office of the Attorney-General over legal action against those who made the document public.

 

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said he agreed with air force chief ACM Ithiporn Supawong's comment that the Information Act should be used against those who make public classified official documents.
