Thai "yellow shirt" leader survives assassination attempt
Published: 16/04/2009 05:00
| Sondhi Limthongkul, a leader of yellow-shirts protest movement which seized Bangkok airports last year, was ambushed and injured when gunmen opened fire on his car early Friday morning, Thai media reported.
The bullets hit Sonthi’s arm while his driver, Adul Daengpradub, was severely injured. Both were rushed to a hospital nearby. Latest information showed that Adul is in stable condition after urgent surgery. Police at the attack scene found Sondhi’s car riddled with bullets. Police collected about 100 cartridges of AK-16. PAD spokesman Panthep Puapongpan condemned those who were hired to kill Sondhi. He also told the yellow-shirt supporters not to worry because Sondhi is safe. The yellow-shirted PAD supporters frequently held protests during the administrations of Thaksin Shinawatra, Samak Sundaravejand Somchai Wongsawat. They stopped protesting after Abhisit Vejjajiva of the Democrat Party, was elected Thai prime minister in December, 2008. VietNamNet/Xinhuanet
