Gen Chavalit says he has nothing to do with rally bombing

By k on November 17, 2009

BANGKOK, 17 November 2009 (NNT) – Opposition Puea Thai Party Chairperson General Chavalit Yongchaiyudh has denied his involvement in the recent bombing at a rally of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Sunday.

PAD top leader and New Politics Party leader, Sondhi Limthongkul, accused General Chavalit and the opposition Puea Thai of plotting the bombing incident which wounded 13 people. The PAD staged a rally on Sunday to protest against former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen due to the appointment of Mr Thaksin as economic adviser to Phnom Penh.

General Chavalit said that he would not sue Mr Sondhi and was ready to forgive the PAD leader for the accusation.

Meanwhile, Puea Thai Party member General Panlop Pinmanee also denied taking part in the explosion, saying he would admit if he did so.
