| Tension mounts in Thailand after blast wounds 36 protesters |
| 2014-01-18 |
| [Egypt Independent] An bomb tossed at anti-government protesters maimed 36 in central Bangkok on Friday and tension rippled through the Thai capital after several days of relative calm that had suggested the movement was running out of steam. Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban blamed the government for the attack and said it would not dent the morale of thousands who on Monday stepped up a two-month agitation, bringing parts of Bangkok to a standstill and occupying ministries. "The kaboom was the government's doing," Suthep said at a rally later on the edge of the capital's Lumpini Park. "We are not afraid and we will fight on." |
