Seized arms cache is linked to political violence during anti government protests



BANGKOK: -- Deputy commissioner of the Royal Thai Police says the arms cache seized from a rented condominium room in Thung Kru disrtict of Bangkok yesterday was linked to several gun and bomb attacks on protesters of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) during the six-month long anti-government protests.

The deputy commissioner Pol Gen Somyos Phumphanmuang said the arms cache comprises a RPG rocket propeller, three rockets, 13 RGD grenades, 16 sets of igniters, one AK 47 assault rifle, three magazines, eleven 40 m.m. cartridges, a bullet proof jacket, 127 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition , and 18 11 mm cartridges.

They were seized by police from Room 402/24 on Sricondon building 14 on Soi Pracha-uthit 33 in Bang Mod of Thung Kru district.

The room belongs to Mrs Tanainan Termjitcharoen but she rented to a man who he said the police knew his identity and is hunting for him, the police officer said.

Investigation and examination of the weapon has shown they were linked to violence against anti government protests during the past several months, he said.

Good to see more confiscation of these red shirt war weapons.

Makes Thailand a safer place.

[djjamie]

To think, none were found in the previous 6 months before the coup. None.

Heck, the Junta found so many small, tiny, insignificant weapons caches in 60 days that it equated to 10% of all weapons finds over a 14 year period. The way it is going they will be up at 15% in no time.

Well done and lets hope the "special" amnesty period given to the remaining red shirts bears fruit or in this case guns as well.

Well I must say no RS apologist has used this excuse before.

When the finds started happening it was downplayed as tiny, little, insignificant finds. More weapons found and displayed and the excuses were it could not start a a civil war, more weapons found and the excuses were it would not fit into a truck. Then when the tiny finds add up by the Junta that equate to 10% of all finds in 14 years the excuse now is the news stories are all fake.

That "fake" word again when the inconvenient truth is just too much to bear. Fake farmers. Fake thaksin video clip. Fake Police. Fake monk. Now fake news stories.

I love it when they state fake because it means they cannot face the truth and it must be nice to just dismiss anything that goes against the regime as fake instead of using logic, deductive reasoning and intellect.

All of which seems to be fake when talking about a RS apologist.

This is not really djjamie's post. It is fake because there is no independent confirmation that I wrote it!

If nothing else TVF offers me some wonderful classical entertainment. This post is near the top next to "There is no corruption in the rice scheme" and my favorite by the RS apologists "The amnesty bill WILL bring reconciliation. You just wait and see"

Strange isn't it......but I'm prety sure there must have been some of the BiB that had knowledge of these weapons.....

Read the Bangkok Post recently? Police arrested a (fake) man accused of firing (fake) grenades at People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) demonstrators in March, and seized (fake) war weapons linked with political protests in 2010 and recent PDRC demonstrations.

PTP logic right there my friend and in retrospect deserves the coveted "Pigeon" award.

Congrats. Only the rare few on TVF get it and you qualify my friend.

The police involved? The RTP involved ? Shocking, really shocking, especially since it must be pretty true as you're pretty sure about it.

Maybe I should ask Pol. Captain Chalerm for a second opinion though.

Typical 'red' attitude: deny, deny, deny... I remember you guys' theory of 'self inflicted', and now with the nose rubbed on facts, you still deny... 'Ab absurdum' it is sooo evident that when it would have been some PDRC, or 'nationalist', or 'Suthepisto' (UDD propagandist's language), this guy would have been caught, months ago. It shows, again, how deep, and wide, the 'reform' of the RTP will need to go... Thank you Generals, please go on with the good job! P.S.: and your red babble being published here shows you wrong too about being restricted in your freedom of expression, whiner!

'city', your opinions cannot be disputed, as for you there are no credible other sources than UDD's red book, and, for sure, there is no independent confirmation needed about your bias! Where did you get the blue shirt? Part of your present camouflage, as red seems to be really out of fashion on the streets nowadays?

To 'city': I just got in touch with Manchester City, they told me they would at once contact their attorneys to see how they could sue you for abusive use in image of their, registered, jersey, and how they could have your abusive avatar off the net asap...

the only propaganda in here is being delivered by you and your red mates, truth always hurts hey, you must really be p*ssed off that all your heroes have been found out and are being caught red handed(that sounds good hey),. Having to come ion here and make falso accusations and try to spread innuendo just doesnt hold water I'm afraid, there goes your weekend.........

One thing I have realized in LOS is no matter whose in charge a certain amount of scepticism is required when absorbing news no more or less if it's the General, YL, T or the Dems and I do seem to remember when Thaksin was in power he shut down TV stations, newspapers. Murdered journalists or was it a Lawyer (sorry I forget) and taking into account the many caches that have been found in the last couple of months I er on the side of accepting these multiple weapons found news items as truth. But if you are of a red persuasion then your feelings about these stories are tediously understandable and predictable.

What a razor-sharp observation of you.

By that you surely mean that "news delivered during earlier times" (i.e. by the ousted TRT government) were absolutely and without fail trustworthy, didn't constitute "pure propaganda" at all, and always were "independently confirmed", don't you? News like...

"There is no rice missing, government assures"

"Thaksin not involved in current administration, ministry asserts"

"PM denies being elder brother's puppet, makes her own decisions"

"300bn flood prevention plan on track, government claims"

"All farmers to be paid next week, no more delays"

...and other assorted "totally non-propagandist" headlines.

I am of an "opportunity for all" persuasion, so what ever political party is closest to that would be my preferred party. Many posters on here from both sides take the time to check the information delivered to them by their favourite site. The trouble is the ones that post most either deny whats really happening here or they just believe whats served up.

I know Thaksin is not the messiah and hes corrupt to the core like most of the PTP, I also know the role of the players in the opposition and they are just as corrupt....all of them....and I mean all. I just wish that people would try to confirm, whats dressed up as news, is not in fact just propaganda.

So you ( and you are been a bit vague city ) do not believe any of the stories about weapons being found and all these stories are fake stage managed events used for max propaganda purposes. Including the finding of and ballistics match with the weapon that was used to murder that little girl in Trad. YES/NO?

@City.

It is not good enough that they printed the police spokesman's name and the address of the seizure and even the name of the property owner and a picture of the cache, as well as this story being run across various news outlets. It is still probably fake propaganda????

Are your assertions not the same???

I suggest you stop digging yourself deeper, you have defended the red shirts all the way throughout this past 7 or 8 months.. OK... we get it. You love Thaksin and Yingluck because you married a poor farm girl... Everyone already knows.

They also know you are in a corner on every political issue, you have become a plaything and a true victim of red propaganda seeing as you are the ThaiVisa red spokesperson now after your lot have absconded and let you take the flak instead.

Some people know when they are beaten and some unfortunately don't..... yet.

"The amnesty bill WILL bring reconciliation. You just wait and see"

Actually, the PTP passing of the 'blanket' Amnesty Bill did bring reconciliation. Just not the way they thought it would. It caused massive street demonstrations and overreaction by violent Red Shirts that got the army involved. Now the army is bringing reconciliation; whether the die-hard Reds want it or not.

Yeah, right. You are buying what they are selling, and hiding behind the Junta's skirts to do it.

How brave. I see a great reward for you for supporting the psuedo-royal Suthep and the Junta.

You win a free trip to 7/11.

With several thousand designated redshirt villages, I really do believe O.M.I.D. was gearing up for a civil war, and was trying to make sure his side was the better armed. Thank God and Buddha the army stepped in, because it really does seem a much safer place to be in since they took control. I also believe the top army general to be a man of integrity, and is not doing all this for personal gain. Good luck to him and give him as much support as we mere farangs are able

[noitom]

So they don't plan to question the condominium owner further because she "rented it out."

Junta's skirts? In the context here shouldn't that be behind Ms. Yingluck's skirts ?

Anyway, questioning the new item here, I keep wondering about the ease with which Thai manage to rent nice places while foreigners have a hard time finding them.

Of course when a farang rents a house or apartment the owner is supposed to report such to the police (or whatever organisation that handles it) to be able to keep an eye on such aliens. With Thai there doesn't seem to be such regulations.
