Flashermac Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 At least several of them ... including those seen in these photos. Abhisit called them "terorists", but Nathawut claimed they are "rebel soldiers". It seems the Thai language papers (except for the red shirts' own literary masterpieces) are all running front page photos of these "rebel soldiers" - seen on the red shirt stage with none other than Nathawut. In one photo in Thai Rot, Nathawut even introduces the guy to the red shirts. Jatuporn is sitting right next to Nathawut as this happens. Guess they just sort of forgot who they are after the shooting started. The guy with the M16 and rubber gloves is a red "black shirt guard", as it says on his jacket. Another photo in Thai Rot has a red shirt on a mo'cy with an M16 slung over his back, photo taken 10 April. So there are your mysterious gunmen ... red shirts and well known to the red shirt leaders. Check out Daily News, Thai Rot etc. I'm reminded of a comment by a now deceased colleague: "There is no word in Thai for integrity." http://www.thairath.co.th/today p.s. I saw a newspaper headline claiming the red leaders put a 10 million baht bounty on Abhisit's head. True? In this country who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Bangkok Post 14 Apr 20101 Anti-government protesters Thursday denied that the group was related to a group of terrorists that was involved in the shooting during bloody clashes in the Thai capital last weekend, a protest leader said on Thursday. Natthawut Saikuea, leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), told a press conference that he believed that in the next four or five days there would be an attempt to charge that UDD protesters are connected with terrorists after the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES) had shown video clips on the bloody violence. Clashes between combined government forces and UDD protesters took place last Saturday on Ratchadamnoen Avenue in Bangkok. One of the video clips, which appeared on TV, has shown that a group of heavily armed gunmen dressed in black with hooded faces fired at troops during the clashes. UDD leaders will take responsibility if it is proven that they are connected with the terrorists, said Mr Natthawut , adding that his ‘red shirt’ people are against a plan which calls for setting up a joint committee of government and protester representatives to investigate Saturday’s clash. However, he said the UDD would accept only a genuine neutral agency to conduct the probe. He said the protesters have heard that the government plan to disperse protesters now occupying Bangkok’s prime business area of Ratchaprasong intersection on April 19-21, but the charge was rejected by Panithan Watanayakorn, deputy secretary-general to the prime minister. “ A charge that the government plans to take back Ratchaprasong area by firing at protesters from high-rise buildings between April 19-21 is a rumour,†Mr Panithan said. He said Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva would not appear in public for a while for safety reasons. The present situation is abnormal and the prime minister will be interviewed less by the media as well as communicating less with the people except only in necessary cases. As the number of the UDD protesters now gathering at Ratchaprasong intersection is expected to grow after the end of Songkran festival, police have doubled their personnel to 2,700 to provide safety to protesters as well as preventing a ‘third hand’ from creating troubles there. Police reinforcements are now posted around the rally site and more checkpoints have been set up. Although UDD protesters have left Ratchadamnoen Avenue and join fellow activists at Ratchaprasong intersection, police are keeping tight security at several government offices including Government House and Parliament. Wasn't us, boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pom Michael Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'm not sure if there are any photos of Sondhi and his guns. Lots of photos of him being on the other side of the gun - but that doesn't count now does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware that Sondhi and his crowd were in the news right now. Not that I recall the yellow shirts firing military weapons at anyone anyway.
