2 policemen killed, 12 wounded in attacks near rally site

Two policemen have been killed in attacks near anti-government protests,
raising tensions Saturday as the government struggles to negotiate a peace
"road map" to end a crippling political crisis.

Grenade blasts and a drive-by shooting targeted security forces facing off
against red-shirt protesters at their massive rally encampment in
Ratchaprasong district.

It was the latest outbreak of violence in a two-month confrontation that has
also triggered deadly clashes and other explosions, which have left another
27 dead and nearly 1,000 injured.

"Two policemen have been killed in these incidents, I think that someone
doesn't want the protests to end," said police operations centre spokesman
Maj-Gen Prawut Thavornsiri.

The grenades hit in the early hours of the morning at a security checkpoint
in front of the Lumpini Park that forms the edge of the heavy fortified
protest camp, which is surrounded by makeshift barricades.

"Three M-79 grenades were fired at a security checkpoint manned by police and
soldiers," said Maj-Gen Prawut.

A hospital official said a 35-year-old policeman died during surgery. The
Bangkok Emergency Medical Service said five police and three soldiers were
wounded in the blasts.

Earlier, one policeman was killed and four others -- two police and two
civilians -- were injured when a man opened fire in the nearby Silom
financial district, which is under heavy guard to prevent the protests
spilling over.

"A man on a motorbike fired at police who were on patrol," said police
spokesman Lt Gen Pongsapat Pongcharoen.

The attack took place at around 11pm Friday outside Krung Thai Bank's Silom
branch, near Sala Daeng intersection.

The latest attacks were near the site of a grenade blast on April 22 that
killed a 26-year-old Thai woman and injured scores of other people, including
foreigners.

Reds leaders on Saturday denied any involvement in the attacks and called on
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to withdraw the security forces, stationed
in the Silom financial district, under a proposed reconciliation plan.

"Red shirts protesters still adhere to a policy of non-violence, we have
nothing to do with the incidents last night," Weng Tojirakarn, one of the
movement's leaders, told supporters from their rally stage.

"It shows that it does not benefit anyone to maintain the troops on Silom,"
he said. "So if Abhisit wants to prove his sincerity he must lift the state
of emergency and withdraw all the troops."

The protest area has been guarded by riot police and troops since the
red-shirts occupied the area eight weeks ago, demanding elections to replace
Abhisit Vejjajiva's government, which they say is the puppet of the nation's
elites.

Acting national police chief Pateep Tanprasert ordered reinforcement into the
area and called an urgent meeting on Saturday morning.

Mr Abhisit is now fighting to keep alive his reconciliation process, which
envisages parliament being dissolved in September ahead of national polls the
following month.

The plan has met growing opposition among rival protest movements, and the
government and the reds are struggling to bridge their differences over
setting a specific date for the dissolution of the lower house.

"We have to seek cooperation from everybody to return Thailand to peace," one
of Abhisit's deputies, Suthep Thaugsuban, told reporters Friday. "Everybody
must avoid violence and help solve the problem."

However, the reds are insisting on a specific date for the dissolution before
leaving their encampment, which they have fortified with barricades made from
fuel-soaked tyres, bamboo stakes and razor wire.

The rival pro-establishment "Yellow Shirts" -- who blockaded Bangkok's
airports in 2008 in their own protests -- have rejected Mr Abhisit's roadmap
and election plan and called on the prime minister to resign.

And in another setback, a moderate pro-government group known as the
multi-coloured group whose rallies in the capital have also drawn thousands
of supporters, called for the election date to be pushed back.

In a colour-coded crisis, Thailand is largely split between the mainly rural
poor and urban working class reds -- who broadly support fugitive former
premier Thaksin Shinawatra -- and the elite-backed yellows.
