Police warn of plot to abduct Yingluck

Published: 22 Nov 2012 at 15.49
Online news:

The national police chief claims there is a plan to take Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra hostage, and cites this as one reason for imposing the Internal Security Act in three districts of Bangkok.

Pol Gen Adul Saengsingkaew said the cabinet decided to impose the Internal Security Act (ISA) in three districts of Bangkok from today until Nov 30 after security agencies reported receiving information there could be attempts to raid government premises and a plan to take Prime Minister Yingluck hostage.

He said using the ISA would help security forces contain the anti-government protesters.

'...there could be attempts to raid government premises and a plan to take Prime Minister Yingluck hostage'.

No point in going to Parliament; she is never there.

"A large turnout is expected at the Pitak Siam rally at the weekend, the police chief said."
Last month the same brilliant police chief said the Pitak Siam won't get more than 2000 at last month rally, now he is hiding under the ISA.

This government has long surpassed the outrageous stage to the internationally embarrassment stage. People can only tolerate you crying wolf too many times before realizing their no wolf and everything is a lie

Fictitious assassination plots are often used by governments as a pretext to do some nasty things of their own, of which the citizens might otherwise disapprove.

Invoking the ISA is obviously part of this scenario. Waiting for the other shoe to drop now.

How sad and embarrassing. I'm sure all of us living in Thailand are sleeping easier tonight knowing what a brilliant chief of police this country has. Maybe the plotters are after Yingluck's napkin.

What an amazing Police Chief , to know the baddies will stay within their allotted space.

Can this get any sillier, Thaksin must be driving everyone insane with his incessant phone calls.
