Security tightened at US embassy

Bangkok police have strengthened the security around the US embassy in following the killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden by American special forces in Pakistan.

Police would patrol areas near the United States embassy on Witthayu Road on a 24 hour basis and around the residences  of senior US diplomatic officers, Metropolitan Police Bureau Division 5 commander Somchai Patcharainto said.

Checkpoints would also be set up in areas which represent  US business interests to prevent a possible terrorist attack.
