Witnesses: Several injured including 2 journalists in Thai clashes

None

Thai troops battled anti-government protesters in central Bangkok on Friday attempting to seal off their encampment after an assassination attempt on a renegade general unleashed a new wave of violence.

 

Troops fired repeatedly into an intersection leading to an encampment in a ritzy hotel and shopping district they have occupied for five weeks, a Reuters witness said, adding he saw several people injured including two journalists. It was unclear if troops were using live rounds, rubber bullets or both, he said. (Reuters)
