Army needs to pull back a little now and let those remaining think about it.

Hope they will surender now without any more loss of life.

Not confirmed but lookes like he is dead Dr has to confirm.

I disagree ... push a bit harder. Bring the violent ones to the front (don't invade the area or retake the area). Try and draw Sae daeng's Ronin out then take them out. The army has been fired upon by the insurgents. This is not a government excercise now. It is a military operation and needs to be handled well.

Armed and shooting? What happens is on your shoulders is you are attacking the lawful government/military of the Kingdom,

[Thai at Heart]

it might be part of Sondhi's wonderful world of ASTV/PAD but at least it is in English. Can't believe I would ever plug for anything that guy had anything to do with.

http://www.tannetwork.tv/tan/

TAN is working independent from ASTV and separate very clear between rumors, news and opinions.

Just it seems they don't have enough people...relative poor program.

Oh yeah. Independent.

And write now they are reporting a bomb threat against an ASTV office in Phuket. Whilst the local PAD rep has a word or two to say about it. Hey I don't expect them to be independent.

Any news is news.

And what is wrong with that? They reported also all the other grenade attacks.....Till now I could not found some wrong or heavily biased news. No difference to The Nation or BKKPost.

Oh, who cares. Sorry if I offended media mogul Sondhi.

And if it isn't biased, then it must be the only truly independent news source in Thailand.

Got to love professional journalists, report first, check facts after

[koosdeboer]

A renegade Thai general was shot in Bangkok on Thursday as the military planned to encircle the barricaded encampment of antigovernment demonstrators.

Gen. Khattiya Sawatdiphol, 59, better known as Seh Daeng, was allied with the protesters. He appeared to have been shot in the head during an interview with The International Herald Tribune.

You kidding me?

They shot him whilst he was being interviewed by an international newspaper???????

Is that according to an or during an interview?

Getting such a high value target sounds too good to be true. I don't believe that, without this aggressive man the red movement would not have a leader who incites to violence and killings. So there are snipers in Thai army after all. Is this really verified?

I'm a little worried how the reds will react if thats true... the rift is about to widen even further.

Head Doctor at hospital saying he is not dead. In ICU. But will probably die from injuries. Head wound.

A "Head Doctor"....brilliant. Thank you for making me smile in these tense moments

A live interview, or perhaps not. I think I'll open a bottle of wine and celebrate all the lives this has saved if the news is confirmed.

Suppose if he was conscious he would be hoping some colored shirted thugs don't storm into the ER.

(Double standard!)

Yeah sure . One more empty threat. No credibility left, none at all

the kids go back to school next Monday...they have to be safe...it'll happen.

[bkkjames]

[AleG]

"Gen. Khattiya Sawatdiphol, 59, better known as Seh Daeng, was allied with the protesters. He appeared to have taken a single bullet to the head during an interview with The International Herald Tribune. "

i won't post a link....that's not allowed. but you can figure out where it came from.

[Robby nz]

Latest they have taken him for a CT scan

[SomTumTiger]

Guarantee you that every "watermelon" in the Army just instantly disappeared.

[cmsally]

The latest update says not dead.

Twitter

In fact says shot while giving interview to IHT - well that will do wonders for Thailands international reputation!

[SomTumTiger]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer terrorist.

[Herm]

according to tan - live - he is still alive - only one - not sure head or chest

Thai Tv is saying Seh Daeng is dead

I'm a little worried how the reds will react if thats true... the rift is about to widen even further.

If it is true, it has come to a man who has promised death to all that oppose him, who has almost certainly orchestrated attacks that have led to the deaths of others (BTS Sala Daeng - 1 civilian, Vibhavadhi Road - 1 soldier) and terror attacks on people's property. If he is dead then he died as he has lived, and he probably wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

As for the rest, lets see. My guess is there'll be a bit of in-fighting between the bullies that copy their leader and the res that want to take the chance to return to a normal life.

As I type, TNN just saying Seh Deang shot, but not dead.

Bush never got Bin Laden in seven years, so you have to finally give Abhisit some credit.

Jerry is wrong about almost everything, but one thing he is right about. This is but a single scene in a many act tragicomic play.

It was a Pol General that was quoted saying that Sae Daeng is dead .... What is being said now is that the Dr hasn't called the time of death but that Sae Daeng took a serious hit in the head and will not survive.

[Thai at Heart]

TAN Network reporting that Seh Deng was wheeled out of ICU 5 minutes ago.

Sniper shot him apparently.

You're welcome Though, given it's Seh Daeng, I should perhaps have said "Dick Head Doctor"

[Jingthing]

If alive, might be good news because if he talks the clear connection to THAKSIN can be legally established.

says he was picked off during an interview...bet that caught them by surprise!

[dino67]

Lots of the Reds think Sae Dang is a legend and protects them from the army. A bit of psych ops for the masses ! A tactical masterpiece by the army taking him out, give the red rumour mill time to work and people will be losing their will to fight leaving a smaller number of hardcore protesters left.

A HV round to the head, the guy is 99% dead !
