Blast near Govt House, injured three

A bomb exploded near Government House on Tuesday, where the supporters of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) are holding the anti-government demonstration. The blast injured three people, who were later sent to Ramathibodi Hospital by the PAD guards.

According to former military advisor, Gen Pathompong Kasornsuk, who was assigned to investigate the incident, said an M-79 grenade could be thrown, aimed at harming the anti-government group. He called on police and military officers to consider the PAD supporters’ safety.

After the blast, the PAD leaders told the supporters to stay within the government compound in a peaceful manner.
