Explosions, gunfire in central Bangkok
None
Gunfire and at least four explosions were heard Thursday night in central Bangkok where Red Shirt anti-government protesters are camped.
It was not clear who was shooting, but the sounds came after the government said it will impose a military lockdown on the area in an effort to evict the protesters. There was no immediate word if anyone was hurt. A reporter for TNN television said electricity went out in the Red Shirt protest zone in Rajprasong, a posh area of shopping malls, hotels and upscale apartments. (AP)
