Thai Army Ousts PM; Seizes Power

20 Sep, 2006
In an abrupt movement, the Thailand's Army took control of the country yesterday giving shock to the entire nation. Thailand's Army Commander-in-Chief Gen. Sondhi Boonyaratkalin seized power from Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra by sending tanks and troops into the streets of Bangkok. Announcing an interim authority loyal to the king, he implemented this undisclosed decision, when the Prime Minister was away to attend the UN General Assembly in New York. Martial law has been declared across Thailand and the deputy and chief aide of the Prime Minister, Chidchai Vanasathidya, has been detained by the army. The soldiers have seized the government offices in the capital and have taken up positions around the city. After holding the power, Gen. Sondhi Boonyaratkalin justified his move by saying that coup was necessary to unite the country. He added that the military had no intention of holding the power.
