Thousands of anti-government protesters blocked traffic Friday on the busy streets of Bangkok, accusing Thailand's prime minister of ordering the violent suppression of an earlier demonstration and demanding his resignation.
The protest came amid a deepening political crisis that has nearly paralyzed the government.
Influential army chief, Gen. Anupong Paochinda, strongly hinted Thursday that Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat should resign in the wake of the violent confrontation between police and protesters outside parliament last week that killed one demonstrator and injured more than 400 other people.
Some demonstrators at that protest carried guns, iron rods, slingshots and rocks, and rioters torched parked cars, trucks and vans.
