10 killed in Bangkok violence

BANGKOK - At least 10 people were killed in clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces in the Thai capital Friday, officials said.

About 110 people, including security personnel, were injured in the clashes, the Bangkok Emergency Medical Service Centre told Xinhua.

The latest violence erupted after the Centre for Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES) announced that it would keep up the pressure on “red-shirt” protesters to end their rally.

The protests in the Thai capital started March 12 and the Rathchaprason Intersection in central Bangkok is the main rally site.
