Three killed in Bangkok bomb blast
A bomb blast in Bangkok has killed a woman and a young brother and sister and injured around 22 people as the political crisis in Thailand continues.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for Sunday’s bomb blast in the busy central shopping district of Rachaprasong.
It followed supporters of Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra promising to get tough with demonstrators paralyzing parts of the city, reports Reuters.
The six-year-old sister of a boy killed in the attack died today, doctors said, taking the death toll to three.
At least 20 people have been killed and hundreds wounded since the protests began in November, according to the Erawan Medical Center, which monitors hospitals.
Rice farmers, angry at not being paid under a government rice subsidy scheme, called off a protest tractor drive to Bangkok’s main airport on Friday after an assurance they would get their money this week, reports the Guardian.
