Flashermac Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 At least 28 injured in grenade attacks at Victory Monument Assailants lobbed two grenades near the rally site of the People's Democratic Reform Committee Sunday afternoon, injuring at least 28 people. One of the injured is a Post Today reporter. Witnesses, PDRC guards and earlier reports said five or six assailants arrived on motorcycles and walked to the area behind the rally stage. Then they lobbed a grenade at the back of the stage, but it hit a tree's branch before landing near the reporters' resting tent where the Post Today reporter was injured. The first explosion occurred at about 1:30 pm. PDRC guards said they saw five or six men run to the side of the Ratchawithi Hospital. When guards and other protesters ran after them, one of them threw another grenade at them. The second grenade landed at near a street vendor, who was selling clothes. It happened about ten minutes after the first one. The assailants then fled on waiting motorcycles, which fled to the direction of Tukchai Intersection. Taworn Senneam, a PDRC leader in charge of the Victory Monument, told a press conference that the assailants apparently wanted to kill him, as the first grenade was aimed at the direction where he was sitting. He said he was discussing with an officer from Phyathai police station about how to tighten security at the area. He said he was not afraid of the attempt to kill him. He said he had two witnesses who remembered the face of a suspect who ran and fled into Soi Wat Makok. As of 2:55 pm, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA)’s Erawan Emergency Medical Services Centre reported that 28 people were injured. Nine injured people were rushed to Ramathibodi Hospitial, 13 to Ratchavithi Hospital, two to Phra Mongkut Hospital and four to Chulalongkorn Hospital. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/At-least-28-injured-in-grenade-attacks-at-Victory--30224655.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Prayuth regrets bomb attacks at Victory Monument Army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha regretted that the Victory Monument rally site was attacked with grenades, Deputy Army Spokesman Col Winthai Suwaree said. He said Prayuth instructed Army officers concerned to coordinate with the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order to adapt joint security checkpoints to prevent more attacks. The spokesman said the Army officers would also coordinate with Police Commissioner-General Pol Gen Adul Saengsingkaew to have police speed up probe into all the attacks. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/Prayuth-regrets-bomb-attacks-at-Victory-Monument-30224680.html A discrete warning perhaps? A woman reporter from the Post seriously injured. She should recover though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 "Pol Col Kamthorn, commander of the explosive ordnance disposal police, said the grenades used in the two attacks are of the RDG-5 type, made in Russia or China." - Bangkok Post Pol. Col. Khamtorn is the EOD man who ridiculed the suggestions that a Democrat's aide dropped the grenade into the procession, saying the killing radius is 6 metres and he would have been killed himself! EOD officers knows their shit. They have my respect. So where does one buy Chinese grenades these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
