Thailand protests targeted; 3 dead, dozens wounded

Over the weekend 3 people in Thailand were killed who were participating in protests. A 12-year-old boy and a 40-year-old woman were killed while they were protesting in a group outside of a shopping mall. A bomb went off which killed them both and injured another 22 people. On Saturday night a 5 year-old girl was killed by a stray bullet when attackers fire on a protest group, another 34 were injured. The Prime Minister released a statement condemning the attacks and stating that these acts of terrorism will not be tolerated. It seems as though there is no short end in sight as more protestors are preparing for long protests as they are setting up offices around the country and training protestors.
