Flashermac Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Red-shirt core member Jatuporn Prompan was likely the person behind the killing of Gen. Khattiya Sawasdipol, widely known as Seh Daeng, during the violent anti-government demonstration last year, Democrat Party secretary-general Suthep Thaugsuban said. "When Seh Daeng was killed, Mr Jatuporn accused the government of the assassination, but I remember that the red-shirt leaders were arguing among themselves, especially Mr Jatuporn and Seh Daeng, previously. "I then wonder why Seh Daeng was shot in the middle of a group of foreign journalists. This indicates that somebody might want news about the red-shirt protest last year to go global. "I have this suspicion because I have no evidence to accuse others," Mr Suthep said at the Democrat's major election campaign at the Ratchaprasong intersection on Thursday evening. The deputy prime minister in charge of security affairs said not one person was killed at Ratchaprasong during the military crackdown on the red-shirt protest on May 19 last year. Mr Suthep said authorities found out that the men in black among the red-shirt protesters in April-May last year were all guards of the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship. "During the negotiations between Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and the red-shirt core members, I was afraid that the premier would accept their demand to dissolve the House. If the House was dissolved, the national situation would worsen," he said. About 17,000 people gathered at the Democrat's Ratchaprasong rally despite heavy rain, reports said.
