Thailand hunts for Red Shirt leaders
- 12 years ago
Thai officials have displayed a large haul of weapons seized from a anti-government stronghold in central Bangkok.
The military said it found the rifles, bullets and grenades as it cleared the areas which were occupied by red shirt protesters, who were engaged in a series of violent and deadly clashes with security forces for more than a month until last Wednesday.
Most of the Red Shirt protesters who gathered in Bangkok are from rural areas in the northern Thailand city of Chiang Mai.
