Over the weekend, four people were killed and 50 were injured due to anti-government protests in Thailand. Of the four who were killed, three were children. Two separate attacks were carried out. The first occurred "on Saturday near the border of Cambodia. The second attack occurred on Sunday in one of the busiest shopping areas of Bangkok. The Prime Minister of Thailand said the attacks were "terrorist attacks for political gain." "Protest leaders said the government would be 'soon destroyed by the hands of the great mass of people.'" The objective of the protestors is to overthrow the current administration and set up an interim government. The United Nations has intervened by asking both sides to "'dissociate themselves from armed groups.'" The protestors gained extra wind from a court ruling that said it was unconstitutional for the government to disperse protestors.
