Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Australia China India Indonesia Japan Malaysia Philippines Thailand Vietnam Search Search: Grenade wounds 8 outside Thai PM office By SUTIN WANNABOVORN,Associated Press Writer AP - Saturday, November 22 BANGKOK, Thailand - A grenade attack on anti-government protesters occupying the Thai prime minister's office wounded eight people early Saturday, officials said. Police Lt. Col. Samreng Songsiang said he inspected the scene and the explosion was from an M-79 grenade, which are normally fired from launchers. The protesters have occupied the Government House compound since August. They say they will not leave until Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat resigns or is overthrown. The protest movement has been the focus of several small bomb and grenade attacks, including one last Thursday that killed one person and wounded more than 20. Saturday's explosion occurred shortly after 2 a.m. outside the government house compound where guards appointed by the protesters man checkpoints. No one took responsibility for the blast. Samreng said the grenade was fired from somewhere nearby but could not pinpoint the location or suggest who would have fired it. One of the key protest leaders, Chamlong Srimuang, said the grenade was launched from the headquarters of the Bangkok Metropolitan police about 500 feet (150 meters) away. "The grenade was fired from the (police) headquarters. This proves the attackers were government security forces or bad guys who are supported by the government," Chamlong said from the stage at the protest site where about 2,000 people had gathered. The latest attack came one day before the protest group that calls itself the People's Alliance for Democracy plans a mass demonstration at government house. Chamlong said it will start late Sunday and continue into Monday and is meant to "finish off" the government. Speaking to the crowd, he said the protesters will march from government house, but did not name the destination _ although most expect it will be Parliament, where the government plans to meet Monday morning. "It will be the biggest PAD movement to finish off this illegal government," Chamlong said. "If we cannot drive out this illegal government then we will give up and let them do whatever they want to the country. Everyone in PAD will go back home." The military on Saturday expressed concern the march could turn violent if the PAD marches on Parliament. Army spokesman Col. Sansern Khaewkamnerd said in a telephone interview that the government was urged to postpone or change the venue of the meeting but refused. He said there will be more than 2,000 soldiers in the area. "Police will be responsible for control of the situation but the military will be on call to support police in keeping order," Sansern said. Bangkok Police Chief Gen. Jongrak Jutanon told reporters there will be 2,400 police stationed outside Parliament. "I hope the protesters do not obstruct members of parliament from doing their duty," he said Saturday.
