Thai Army Deployed in Bangkok after Bomb Leads to Coup Fears

THE TELEGRAPH: The Thai military has been called on to the streets of Bangkok after a day of violence by anti-government protesters sparked fears of a coup.

A military spokesman said that soldiers would help the police to restore order after a woman was killed by a car bomb, shots were fired at riot police and there were repeated clashes between police and demonstrators, which left 190 people injured.

The bombing occurred during the afternoon outside the offices of the Chart Thai party - a member of the governing coalition - less than a mile from parliament where clashes occurred earlier in the day. The victim, who was driving a white car, has not yet been identified. Thai Army Deployed in Bangkok after Bomb Leads to Coup Fears >>> By Thomas Bell in Bangkok | October 8, 2008
