Red shirts may turn suicide bombers, leader warns

A red-shirt leader warned Thursday certain red-shirt people may turn suicide bombers to avenge the government crackdowns and fight for democracy.

The warning was made by Somyos Prueksakasemsuk, a leader of the June 24 Group, during a seminar at the Royal Hotel to mark the October 14 student uprising. The seminar was titled "October 14: People's War".

Somyos said a lot of red-shirt people harboured grudge against the government following the crackdown at the Rajprasong rally.

"I heard that the red-shirt people hate the government so much that they will sacrifice their life for democracy," Somyos said.

"Don't underestimate that the red shirt will not dare to do it as Nuamthong Praiwan used to set an example for them."

Nuamthong was a taxi driver who slammed his taxi against a tank following the September 19 2006 coup. He later hang himself in protest.

Somyos said the explosions of bombs made of fertilisers were carried out by the red-shirt people who were angry at the government.

He said the red-shirt leaders could not control these angry reds as they decided to take revenge on their own.

So, now even the leaders are admitting they are terrorists.

Yep, seems so. Hardly an ambiguous statement. It appears the gloves are off.

One thing is for sure, this would be the end of the red shirts peaceful movement.

Internationally it would be suicide as well. I can't see them getting much support from anyone abroad.

It is probably a tongue slip from his side, he meant to say rouge red-shirts.
