Thailand: warning for US citizens

The United States has urged its citizens to stay away from Thailand owing to the anti-government demonstrations which have led to rampant violence.

The protests intended to overthrow the Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Unknown attackers have killed several people during the protests. US Citizens have been warned that the peaceful demonstrations can lead to confrontational and surge up to become violent. Protest sites should be avoided and so should large gatherings and demonstrations. The news media should be followed.

The warning came on the same day that 28 people were injured in an attack on a rally at Victory Monument, central Bangkok, the second such assault in recent days. The twin blasts followed by gunshots at a busy intersection occupied by the protesters heightened fears of growing violence before elections called by Yingluck for 2 February.
