The renegade Maj. Gen. ,Khattiya Sawasdiphol, accused of creating a paramilitary force for the Red Shirt protesters, died this morning in Vajira Hospital after having been shot by an unidentified sniper. The death came five days after he was shot in the head by a sniper in downtown Bangkok while talking to journalists inside the perimeter of the protest zone.
The attack on Khattiya, more popularly known as Seh Daeng, triggered widespread street fighting between anti-government protesters and the army in central Bangkok.

The fourth day of rioting and violence has not seen raging firefights that some battlefield correspondents described as “heavy – even in war measures”. Tires are burning again and blockades are being fortified, tough.

Still, in about 40 minutes an ultimatum by the government will run out asking the red shirts to abandon their rally site on Ratchaprasong Road.

Meanwhile there are even rumors of a ceasefire.

As I had posted yesterday, the protests are spreading on other parts of the kingdom. Yesterday about 300 red shirt protesters gathered in front of Ubon Ratchathani provincial hall and burned tires.

These are the first video from there:
