Security ... think about it!
Thai troops and armour smashed through barricades and recaptured Bangkok's main commercial hub from anti-government protestors on Wednesday, but faced a widening security challenge as bands of arsonists attacked government offices and media targets elsewhere in the city and in several north-eastern provinces.
The Thai government says an operation launched at daybreak to clear protesters from their barricaded encampment in downtown Bangkok will last throughout the day. Government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn says Wednesday’s operation is designed “to secure the parameter in several locations in Bangkok.”
