Thai protesters accused the government of having “blood on its hands” after one man died and 37 people were injured in a bomb attack in Bangkok yesterday, raising concern violence may increase before an election scheduled for Feb. 2.
The blast near Chulalongkorn University in the center of Bangkok targeted a rally led by Suthep Thaugsuban, a former opposition party lawmaker who has called for Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s government to be replaced by an unelected council that would reform politics before restoring democracy.
