Blast hits Thai government house | Blast hits Thai government house |
(20 minutes later) | |
A grenade explosion has injured at least 11 people inside the opposition-occupied government house in the Thai capital Bangkok. | |
The blast came as the authorities were trying to end a blockade of Bangkok's two main airports by People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) protesters. | |
The protesters are demanding the prime minister's sacking and have occupied government house since August. | |
A grenade attack there last Saturday injured eight of them. | |
Suriyasai Katasila, a PAD spokesman, said about 15 people had been wounded, two or three of them seriously. Police had put the figure at 11. | |
He said the grenade had gone off just after midnight (1700 GMT), 300m (yards) from the stage in the government house compound. | |
"Protesters have returned to their positions, they are not scared," he told Thailand's Channel Three television. | |
