BANGKOK: A series of grenade blasts ripped through a pro-government rally in Bangkok Thursday, killing three people and wounding more than 70 in the latest bloodshed in the heart of the Thai capital.
The authorities said five grenades were fired from within the anti-government Red Shirt protesters’ sprawling encampment, which has been fortified in recent days with sharpened bamboo stakes and piles of car tyres.
“Three people died and more than 70 were injured,” said Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, adding that an M79 grenade launcher was used in the attacks, which came as the supporters of embattled Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva faced off with the rival Reds.
“It was clear that it was shot from behind the King Rama VI Monument where the Red Shirts are rallying,” he told reporters.
The mostly poor and rural Reds – who are seeking immediate elections – denied that they were responsible for the blasts, which shattered windows in the capital’s financial district and prompted people to flee in panic.
According to a Western diplomat who asked not to be named, one Japanese and one Australian were believed to be among the injured.
The violence came less than two weeks after a failed attempt by authorities to disperse Red Shirt protesters sparked violent clashes that left 25 dead and hundreds injured in the worst political violence in almost two decades.
Ambulances rushed away bloodied victims after the latest blasts, which occurred close to a station of the capital’s elevated Skytrain in an area home to dozens of corporate towers and a notorious red-light district.
Police later cordoned off and began investigating the blast scene, littered with pools of blood as well as abandoned shoes and flags.
Clashes later broke out between riot police and pro-government demonstrators who hurled bottles at the Reds.
The military said earlier Thursday that it wanted to avoid further bloodshed but warned time was running out for the Red Shirt demonstrators to leave their sprawling base in Bangkok’s shopping and hotel district.
“We don’t want you to risk your lives. If there is a clash you could be hurt by stray bullets,” said army spokesman Sunsern Kaewkumnerd. “Your time is running out. Please leave the area.”
Earlier this week he warned that the protesters faced tear gas and live weapons fire in any new clashes with security forces.
Abhisit called an emergency meeting with top security officials following the grenade attacks, but Sunsern said that there would be no overnight crackdown on the protesters because it was too dangerous to act at night.
The army this week signalled it was preparing to crack down on the Red Shirt protesters, who have paralysed the capital’s commercial heart as they campaign to overthrow a government they say is undemocratic and elitist.
But the Reds, who have been demonstrating in Bangkok for weeks in their bid to topple Abhisit’s government, have remained defiant and ruled out talks until the military withdraws.
The army chief said Thursday that he hoped to end the standoff without any more blood being spilled.
“Whatever I do will depend on the situation, and the outcome would be good for the country and we can uphold the law with no people dead or injured,” General Anupong Paojinda told AFP.
Any action “must be legally responsible”, added Anupong, who was last week put in charge of security in the capital by the government.
The protesters appealed to the United Nations to send a peacekeeping force to Bangkok to help them.
The political crisis has spread to the rural northeast, where protesters blockaded a military train and forced busloads of troops to return to their bases.
Police said the train was headed for the Muslim-majority southern provinces where a separatist insurgency is raging, and later struck a deal with the Red Shirts who will now accompany it on its journey.
The red protesters are mainly supporters of corrupt former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup and is living in exile to avoid a jail sentence for corruption. Thaksin Shinawatra is now considered a terrorist by many.
