In another attempt to bring Thailand's ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to justice, the Department of Special Investigation will circulate copies of his arrest warrant on terrorism charges around the world.
The DSI's foreign division will give copies of the warrant to 187 Interpol member countries asking them to help capture Thaksin, DSI chief Tharit Pengdit said.
The DSI will also ask the Office of the Attorney-General to proceed with extradition requests to countries in which Thaksin has been living since his self-imposed exile.
The Foreign Ministry will also circulate the documents through diplomatic channels.
So far, the government has failed to have Thaksin extradited from a number of countries, including Cambodia.
Thaksin apparently has a residence in Dubai and holds Montenegrin citizenship, but both countries have ignored Thai requests to take him into custody.
Meanwhile, a lower court earlier approved arrest warrants for 13 men for their alleged torching of the Maleenont Building, which houses Channel 3, on May 19.
The suspects, aged 30-50, were seen in media and security footage taking part in the arson attack but not identified by name.
Thonglor police said they were verifying the men by their appearance in previous criminal records. Most are seen in the footage armed with clubs and sticks and carrying out acts of attacks and arson.
The Metropolitan Police Bureau yesterday released a report on more than 360 violent incidents related to the red-shirt rally, including 160 violations of the emergency decree.
The cases occurred across Bangkok. Of the total, 140 were reported in the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Region 1.
Offences classified under the criminal category include 62 bomb attacks, 54 of which are still being investigated. Two arrest warrants have been issued, and six suspects are in police custody.
There are 39 cases of arson and of torching property, with investigations in progress for 36 of them. Two arrest warrants are outstanding, and one suspect has been arrested.
There are 18 cases of manslaughter and attempted murder. Police are investigating 17 cases and are in the process of requesting judicial approval for an arrest warrant.
Police are working on two cases relating to physical assault.
There are 34 cases of stealing, looting and armed robbery, 12 of which are under investigation. Police have rounded up suspects involved in 21 of them and are preparing an arrest warrant in another.
For national-security-related investigations, there are seven cases of lese majeste. Two are in progress, while two arrest warrants have been issued, and three suspects are in police custody.
Some 160 cases are related to offences committed under the state of emergency. Suspects are under custody for violating the emergency decree.
The remaining cases involve the illegal possession of military supplies. One case is in progress. Two arrest warrants have been issued, and one case has been solved, with suspects in police custody.
Regarding people killed in the mayhem, police investigations are under way, with 37 autopsy reports completed.

Why Hun Sen stops to bark about Taksin ?
If Thaksin comes to Cambodia sure Hun Sen will talk about him.
Hun Sen will use Thaksin as a bargaining chip, Thaksin must becare full anyhting is possible with Hun Sen. He is not to be trusted. You can not trust politician but most importantly yu can trust Hun Sen a comunist deciple.
Why are we get involved with the business of other when we are not even strong enough to stand on our own feet?
Taksin must not come to Cambodia, Hun Sen will send him to Thailand right away because Hun Sen is a man who always betraies his friends.
Don't be stupid, Hun Sen is much smarter than u idiots. There is no reason for him to send Thaksin to Abhisit. He has more in common with Thaksin than the idiot Abhisit.
What is next, Hun Sen will issue arrest warrant to arrest Sam Rainsy too.
As long as Cambodia has been running by the same person too long time, it remains a republic of banana and Cambodians still are monkey.
This arrest warrant is good for Cambodia. If thaskin ever face the court in Thailand, there will be civil war period!
When Thaksin come to advise our PM! Cambodia will defence Thaksin to the death!
Wow! Mr. ah kwack Hun Xen has criminal advisor!!!!!!
According to any criminal laws, someone who hide a fugitive, he is an accomplice and an accomplice is as guilty as the fugitive then if Taksin comes to Cambodia and Hun Sen doesn't send Taksin to Thailand, Hun Sen becomes a criminal.
Hun Sen not just the criminal to ThaiLand but international criminal against humanities in the whole world wide eyes.
Taksin not support by the world but Samransy is so please file it now to make the interpole keeping busy.
You must be stupid to file the warren to arrest the country defender than the mafia Hun Sen country destroyer.
How could they called Thaksin a terrorist while the Abishit goverment robbed Thaksiin and the less fortuned poor Thai and hire snipper to killed the protester. Most of them come from rural border and farmer. This is a hate crime against humanity. Any country that co-operate with this Thai government are TERRORIST.
Khmer Poit Paet lived in U.S
