The first attack took place at the Khok Hwa intersection. At a quarter to three guards were fired upon from a pickup truck. A guard and another were killed and nineteen others injured.

The second attack occurred five minutes later at the Democracy Monument. Two M79 grenades were fired at demonstrators there. Two persons were injured.

After the attacks, soldiers closed off the area.

    For me the question is still who is shooting who???
    I'm afraid there's another game playing in the background.
    Oa . by Mr. Suthep and his cronies.
    It all seems so simple.
    Sometimes you have to look for the perpetrators within your own ranks.
    And why , to make it seem that the political opponents would have done it .
    And hoping for an intervention by the Thai army .
    Oh they are smart.
    But this is a personal feeling of mine, so nothing has been proven so far, just a simple thought.

    Jan Beute.
