Asia, Thailand, Bangkok, political crises, Ca. 23000 anti-government PAD protesters called for their ┬Уfinal battle┬Ф, surrounded Parliament and got a parliament session postponed, and protested at several other locations in Bangkok. In the early afternoon they retreated. The day went without incidents, other than 4 explosions in the early morning that left nobody injured, and 5 arrested PAD guards who commandeered a public bus to enforce their barricades. One illegal shotgun, one ping-pong bomblet, several machetes and other weapons were confiscated from them. 24/11/2008 ┬й 2008, Nick Nostitz/Agentur Focus
