Thai protesters hold ground despite lockdown (AP)

May 13th, 2010

Maj. Gen. Khattiya Sawasdiphol, a renegade army general accused of leading a paramilitary force among Thailand's Red Shirt protesters, is treated by doctors and nurses at a hospital in Bangkok, Thailand after he was shot in the head Thursday, May 13, 2010. In an interview with The Associated Press about 90 minutes before he was shot apparently by a sniper, Khattiya said he anticipated a military crackdown soon, as security forces moved to seal an area of central Bangkok which has been occupied by thousands of the protesters for weeks. (AP Photo)AP - Protesters in the Thai capital reinforced their encampment Friday as government efforts to blockade them overnight led to sporadic violence that killed one man and saw a high-profile Red Shirt military leader shot in the head.
