There were no injuries however.The explosions at about 1 am prompted a group of military police who were on guard at the BTS station at Rajthevi to rush to the scene of explosions at a supporting pillar of the skytrain in front of the Central Christian Office for an investigation.A public telephone kiosk at the scene was found to have a bullet hole punctured through its glass wall. No bomb fragments were found and it was thought that the loud explosion came from giant firecracker.Protest guards at the Pathumwan protest stage also shut down checkpoints near the Hua Chang bridge.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/gunshots-firecracker-explosion-near-pathumwan-protest-stage/ -- Thai PBS 2014-02-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricBerg Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Sounds too insignificant to be predicted by Chalerm. Kid's play perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JRSoul Posted February 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Don't you love the way Thaksin sycophants manage to minimise and condone every act of violence and intimidation against the protesters? Now it's children with guns shooting at nobody. Edited February 13, 2014 by JRSoul 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djjamie Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Don't you love the way Thaksin sycophants manage to minimise and condone every act of violence and intimidation against the protesters? Now it's children with guns shooting at nobody. Well the quintessential western UDD supporters are Jeff Savage (burn down Central World) and Connor Purcell (Beggar and liar) so that says it all really. Fanatics are drawn to the UDD like terrorists are to Al Qaida. Glad there were no injured in this instance and I hope they catch the culprits.

billd766 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The OP says that a group of military police went to the scene but there was NO mention of the Royal Thai Police in the report. Were they absent as usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
