At least 10 people have been killed and more than 500 others wounded in violent clashes in the Thai capital between security forces and anti-government protesters.
The dead included four soldiers, protesters and a Reuters cameraman, officials said. The announcement came as the army launched an offensive to clear the so-called red shirt protesters from areas in Bangkok by nightfall on Saturday. The push set off hours of violent street fighting, with the military confronting protesters with rubber bullets, live rounds and tear gas and the red shirts fighting back with petrol bombs.
