Renegade Thai general shot in the head as crackdown threatened
About 90 minutes before he was shot, Major General Khattiya Sawasdiphol said he anticipated a military crackdown soon – as security forces moved to seal an area of central Bangkok which has been occupied by thousands of the protesters for weeks.
“It’s either dusk or dawn when the troops will go in,” he said. He was shot soon after night fell.
