The Thai government has moved to tighten security around prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva after an unsuccessful assasination attempt on the founder of the yellow shirt protest movement. Media Mogul Sondhi Limthongkul founded the People's Alliance for Democracy or PAD and was responsible for organising the protests that led to the removal of two previous governments. Unknown assailants attacked Mr Sondhi in his car as he was on his way to work at his Asia Satellite television station ASTV.
