webfact Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 M16 attack at house of hardcore redshirt leader JatupornBANGKOK: -- Unknown number of gunmen attacked the home of hardcore redshirt leader Jatuporn Promphan in Bangkok outskirt district early Wednesday but caused no injury to life.The attack on his house inside Vistar Park housing estate in Saimai district of Bangkok occurred at about 2 a.m. Wednesday.Jatuporn was not at home during the attack but security guards of the housing estate told him that a number of men was seen walking around his house before the shooting.The guards believed that these men were responsible for the attack.Jatuporn was alerted and later told the Saimai police for investigation.Forensic police arrived to inspect his house this morning.The house wall was riddled with two bullets which Jatuporn said were either caused by M16 or AK47 assault rifles.Jatuporn said he strongly believed the attack had nothing to do with the Army chief saying the general has honor enough not to order such attack.He said he trusted Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha and believed the attack was not to retaliate his recent strong verbal attack and challenge on the army chief.However, he said he also was not certain if the attack was motivated by the current rising political tension.He said he would like the police to investigate and bring the culprits for trial.He disclosed that since he took over as the chairman of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), he was welcomed “three times” from opponents but was not shaken by such threat.He also said that he believed it was not caused by internal conflict within the UDD as all leaders are firmly united.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/m16-attack-house-hardcore-redshirt-leader-jatuporn/ -- Thai PBS 2014-03-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gemini81 Posted March 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2014 It was a set up, a conspiracy, a framing right red rouge expat supporters? Can we borrow your theories? Or would that not be convenient in this case? A dose of his own vile medicine- or a warning from Dubai to stop running the mouth, like the former Seh Daeng. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're shooting at themselves to gain sympathy. You are probably not far off the mark. Seems to have been set up so that Jatuporn could release this ass kissing statement to take the military heat off him. Strange statement to be coming from such a rabid criminal don't you think? More to this than meets the eye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
than Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 He also said that he believed it was not caused by internal conflict within the UDD as all leaders are firmly united. He will not drop this hypothese quickly, there is a "DJ" in Bangkok who is porbably not happly with the non violence line of Jaturporn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Another "M" attack in Thailand. Jatuporn wasn't even there, and says it was an M16 or AK-47. Good enough for the media, 50/50 choice, they ran with the "M"16 for the headline. At least it wasn't another M79 attack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Yingluck say "Thank you three times" when he accepted the appointment bestowed by her brother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmatix Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Obviously Prayuth didn't order the attack. He has no reason to want to and, if he had ordered it, Jatuporn would be dead. It is pretty clear that factional in-fighting has started within the red shirts. Thida was summarily dismissed without cause or warning through an imperial command from Dubai and Jatuporn was not democratically elected (nor was Thida). Red shirts who did well financially out of being close to Thida must be feeling the leadership change in their pockets. It is not surprising that they are resorting to violence following the undemocratic removal from power of their revered and beautiful leader. Expect worse to come. A huge quantity of armaments have been imported from Cambodia and Laos and distributed to red shirts. Now they will slug it out amongst themselves like Libyan war lords. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
