BANGKOK — Police on Thursday said “internal conflicts” among groups of protesters’ security details are to blame for the gun and explosive attack that wounded at least one person near a protest on Wednesday night
Deputy metropolitan police chief Piya Tawichai said the attacks were part of a fight that broke out between volunteer guards from rival polytechnic schools, just as protesters were leaving their rally in front of the Siam Commercial Bank’s main office.
But many anti-government critics cast doubt on the swift judgment, which came less than 24 hours after the shooting. The national police chief also said an investigation is still ongoing.
“We found that the perpetrators were from Minburi Polytechnic Technology College, while the victims were from Pathum Thani Vocational College,” Maj. Gen. Piya said. “I confirm that both groups are members of the protesters’ volunteer guard unit.”
