Apparently, anybody can be a red shirt.
Gunmen in a pickup truck this morning opened fire on a vehicle carrying Sondhi Limthongkul, a leader of the People’s Alliance for Democracy, or “yellow shirts”. Sondhi was travelling to his office in Bangkok.
Sondhi himself apparently suffered a minor injury on his arm but his driver is in serious condition in hospital.
Police attended the scene and found rifles as well as about 100 rifle cartridges. The venerable AK-16 has been mentioned.
