REDS RALLIES

Reds to propose their own roadmap in next few days

Red shirts leaders' meeting after the double fatal attacks ended on Saturday without any resolution when they would end their rally.

BANGKOK: -- Nuttawut Saikua, a red shirt leader, told after the meeting that the core leaders would meet again on Sunday to work out on more concrete plan.

"The red shirts would announce their own roadmap which would have different topics from that of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. Our roadmap would be flexible and would not block the PM's roadmap," Nuttawut said after more than two hours of meeting in a container which was used as a meeting room at Rajprasong rally site.

The reds are well aware that Thai people would love to see better atmosphere. "We will try our best," he said.

His announcement meant the rally at Rajprasong would continue for at least a few days more.

The meeting was held following two double bomb attacks in Bangkok on Friday night and Saturday morning which killed two policemen and injured many others.

The leaders earlier condemned the attacks, saying authorities should arrest assailants as soon as possible.
