| Two killed in attack on anti-government protest in Bangkok |
| 2014-05-15 |
| Two anti-government demonstrators have been killed and 22 others wounded in an attack in Bangkok. Witnesses reported explosions and gunfire at a protest camp at the city's Democracy Monument. Protesters have been pressuring the Senate to replace the cabinet with an appointed administration. This comes after former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was removed by a Thai court last week. Reports say grenades were thrown during the latest attack early on Thursday, followed by gunfire. A doctor at an emergency center said the injured had been hit by shrapnel. Major Wallop Prathummuang said, "The first victim was a protester who was sleeping at Democracy Monument, while the second was a protest guard who died from gunshots." |
