The security crisis in the Thai capital, Bangkok shows no signs of easing. The largely rural-based Red shirt demonstrators, many of whom support ousted Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, are vowing to continue their protests for a fifth day. This morning they plan to march on government house and daub blood donated by supporters on the steps of parliament. Yesterday the protestors surrounded a heavily fortified army base where Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva was sheltering.
