Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva escapes with minor injuries.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday sustained minor injuries from attacks by a group of red-shirted protesters at the Interior Ministry, before narrowly escaping through a backdoor. In the attack four other men in his motorcade were also attacked. An unconfirmed report said Abhisit escaped from the compound through a backdoor and his motorcade was used as a decoy to keep the protesters inside the ministry. It is not immediately known how he sustained injuries to his arm. I think the current situation going on in Thailand is interesting, and will continue to keep an eye on it and see how it develops.
