BangkokUnrest

18 MAY 2010 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: An anti government protester sits on a digger he helped destroy with fire Monday in Din Daeng Intersection in Bangkok Tuesday. The intersection has been under periodic sniper fire from unidentified snipers near Thai military lines. Violent unrest continued in Bangkok again Tuesday nearly a week after Thai troops started firing on protesters and Bangkok residents took to the streets in violent protest against the government. Tuesday was not as violent as previous days however. Although protesters continued to set up roadblocks and flaming tire barricades across parts of the city, there was not as much gunfire from the government lines. The most active protesters were at the Din Daeng Intersection about a mile from the Red Shirts' Ratchaprasong camp. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
