More violence predicted after Thailand bloodshed
Both government and protesters mourned their dead after savage street fighting killed 21 people in Thailand’s capital, but neither side appeared ready to compromise to end a five-year political stalemate that threatens more violence.
Hundreds more were injured when security forces tried on Saturday night to clear a demonstrators’ base in the historic district from where they’ve staged disruptive protests in Bangkok for more than a month, seeking to force new elections.
