Armed Thai troops patrol Bangkok business district

None

Thai troops armed with assault rifles moved into Bangkok's central business district Monday morning to stop thousands of anti-government protesters threatening to march down the capital's "Wall Street."

 

The government had earlier declared Silom Road, a thoroughfare studded with bank headquarters and office buildings, off-limits to the protesters who have camped in the capital's main shopping district nearby for weeks. (AP)
