The red shirts of Thaksin retreated from the barricades for the Songkran holiday. The roads of Thailand are dangerous enough without thugs looking for trouble. The Ministry of Traffic reported over nearly 400 deaths for the holiday, but PAD leader Sondhi was lucky to escape an assassination attempt on his life on a busy Bangkok street.
His attackers fired over a 100 bullets at the powerbroker’s car. They first shot out the tires of his black Toyota Alphard. This minivan withstood a flurry of bullets. The media mogul was struck several times. His driver and bodyguard were more seriously wounded in the attack.
Over a 100 bullets and no one dead.
Just like in the A-Team.
Easy to blame the opposition except power moves in strange ways.
No telling who is who in the present situation.
Meanwhile Thaksin got a Nicaraguan passport and the deposed leader will soon be living in Managua.
Howard Hughes lived in that city too.
Top floor of the best hotel.
Long fingernails and Kleenex slippers.
Nice picture.
