Thai Govt Under Yingluck Shinawatra to Ask Army to Secure Election
Thailand said Friday that it would ask the army to provide security for February elections after violent clashes between police and opposition protesters left two people dead and more than 150 wounded.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s government on Thursday rejected a call by the kingdom’s election commission to postpone the vote, after a policeman was shot dead during political violence in the capital.
A 30-year-old civilian who was struck by a bullet in the chest during the unrest also died in hospital early Friday, according to the public health ministry.
