Red-Shirts burn 36 buildings in Bangkok after failed agitation | Bangkok is in a state of anarchy following the Thailand
Government's forced eviction of the UDD demonstrators' rally site that has left 52 dead in the last six days. The damage wreaked by disgruntled Red-Shirts has
far exceeded the Government's projections. Parts of Bangkok 's glitzy commercial
centres are now barely recognizable, as they have been gutted by fires started
by the looters and arsonists. Thirty-six buildings were burnt in Bangkok alone,
some of them, such as the CentralWorld shopping centre, that sustained massive
damage in the fire that raged on for 20 hours. Meanwhile, the establishment maintained
that there was no scope for a resolution, "The prime minister never said he would
sit down to talk. He said the [time for] negotiation had passed," the Bangkok
Post quoted the country's deputy Prime Minister Korbsak Sabhavasu, as saying. |
