A group of men, reportedly living in a condominium near the prime minister's home, are being watched closely, deputy secretarygeneral to the PM Panitan Wattanayagorn said yesterday. Meanwhile, Deputy PM Suthep Thaugsuban, suggested that these men might be linked to the "men in black" behind the April 10 clashes.
Police are also keeping a close eye on a weapons expert from Cambodia, who might instigate violence during the redshirt rally on Sunday.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Santhan Chayanont had previously claimed that a group of "men in black", trained for combat in Cambodia, were staking out Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's residence from a condominium nearby. This has prompted the beefing up of security for the PM as well as 50 VIPs, as police monitor people coming in and out of highrises, he said.
While telling the public not to panic, Panitan said yesterday that the police had been watching the PM's house for a few months now and noticed dubious men taking turns entering a condominium nearby. However, the police have not taken any action because the men had not done anything wrong so far. Also, they have not checked the condominium because it is private property, he said.
Admitting that reports claim this group was comprised of "experts" reportedly preparing for something, he said whether or not they are successful would depend wholly on security measures taken. However, he wouldn't say if there were any plans to relocate Abhisit.
Meanwhile, Abhisit said yesterday that he was being careful but added he was not that worried about being "watched" by the so-called "men in black". He said such reports came up occasionally, but the police provided him with good security.
In related news, Suthep told the press yesterday that Bangkok police was ready for the red shirt rally from Friday to Sunday, adding protesters were not allowed to block roads or use amplifiers.
Asked whether VIPs, including Abhisit and Suthep himself, should be moving to safe houses amid rumours of assassination plans, the deputy PM said there was no need.
As for the "men in black", he said, they first emerged on the night of April 10 and became known as an armed group that killed the general public and officials. He said that though the media called this group that allegedly carried out terrorist attacks and plotted assassinations the "men in black", nobody knew what colour they were wearing this time.
He added that following claims of there being plots to assassinate the PM, he had told security officials to check the neighbourhood for spots where the attacks might be launched. However, he said the officials must have moved so loudly that the suspects have already fled.
Meanwhile, former deputy permanent secretary for Defence, Admiral Bannawit Kengrien said he too had heard about the so-called assassination plot and that a large number of Cambodian warriors of Vietnamese descent, who had undergone military training and were great snipers, had been brought in to do the job.
He said this was in line with news about the chaos that is expected to bubble up by the end of this month. However, Bannawit said he didn't think this rumour had anything to do with the socalled "men in black" renting a condominium near Abhisit's home because these imported warriors keep moving around to avoid detection.
"Although I often criticise this government, I must warn the premier about the reports of an assassination plot against him. If he were harmed, the country's image would be ruined," he said.
Bannawit also said he did not know if former premier Thaksin Shinawatra was linked to this plot and that it was the government's job to investigate.
Meanwhile, emergency police chief Pol Maj General Thanapol Sonthes said reports about "men in black" plotting the assassination of VIPs had been filed since April, when the red shirts were rallying at the Rajprasong intersection. He added that all VIPs, especially the premier, were being provided with maximum security. He said a "trainer" from Cambodia was keeping a low profile in Thailand but the police knew his name and whereabouts, and were keeping an eye on him.
A team of 450 police officers had been given the job of guarding the upcoming rally, and initial investigation has not revealed any signs of the protest being prolonged or becoming violent, Metropolitan Police Area 5 chief Pol MajGeneral Anuchai Lekbumrung said.
Meanwhile, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration deputy governor Theerachon Manomaipibul yesterday presided over the launch of the "citizens' watch for danger" campaign, which runs until Monday. The campaign urges Bangkok residents to keep an eye out for signs of crime, terrorism and other disasters, and is handing out handbooks at Pathum Wan intersection as well as at Siam and National Stadium Skytrain stations.
Theerachon said city officials were also working with police to guard 40 key locations, especially VIP residences as well as subway and Skytrain stations.
Corrections Department chief Chatchai Suthiklom said yesterday that he had notified the directors of some 100 prisons nationwide to be on alert because from 10am today, the red shirts were going to lay roses in front of prisons holding their comrades. "Though we believe that there will be no violence, we have to be prepared," he said.
Currently, 252 redshirt protesters are being detained in 17 prisons across the country, Chatchai said.
Police are also keeping a close eye on a weapons expert from Cambodia, who might instigate violence during the redshirt rally on Sunday.

Ah Abishit scare of his own shadow! The most that AH Abishit scare is the Red Shirt shadow!
Whatever some shit happen in Thailand and somehow Cambodia has something to do with it! The Siem leaders have nobody to blame except themselves for creating the fucken mess in Thailand! Now it is time that the Siem leaders especially AH Abishit to clean up the fucken mess because his mother is not here to clean it up him!
Vietnamese trying to stir up shit with Thailand again. The general Thai public wont blame Vietnam, they will blame Cambodia, which is what Vietnamese want.
They want Thailand to invade so that they (Vietnamese) have a reason to occupy Cambodia once again.
Sathan , if you know that those men have been training in Cambodia , why don't you make it clear they have been trained by whom, when and where the training took place ? If you just say it without any prove, your credibily is zero and you are nothing but an instigator.
I dont support the government of Cambodia but I just want to be fair.
Khmer Ga
some one does more bad things, they must scare all times, such as Hun Sen and Abhisit
Two stupidities come to my mind after reading this report.
1, If I believe this, I would be stupid
2, If it is true, guys who sent to do assassination would be stupid to wear all black uniform because this cloths is easy to spot.
Anyway, Thailand handle internal issue by throwing the issue to other countries to make their people united. Unlike Cambodia, they always accuse each other to devide Khmers.
ah stupid siam ach kri or ah siam kapik, your whole family wanted and intended to swallow Cambodia since long time ago. yuor bastard killed many Cambodian during the refugees were living along the border and entering inside your territory. They were sent to drop down at the Dangrek mountain coast which some were died and some alive so far. remeber your cruel and inhuman act at that time. It's enough to stop your silly dream to get cambodia anymore. Ah siam shit.
justice lover at Phnom Penh capital
Thailand blames everything on Cambodia. They use Cambodia divert attention from the problems in their country.
These snipers maybe those who Abhisit used to kill his own people during the riot. They are sick of his government so they turn on him instead.
Thailand has a reason to be concern for their PM Abhisit.
With all those new tanks and machine guns from China and Eastern Europe, Thailand'd better looking out. They are facing with the Monster of Communist Regime, it seems. PM Hun Sen is an easy subject to use by C & V to make it happens. For example, if Communist China or Vietnam wants Thailand for Mr. Thaksin which is easier to talk to than Mr. Abhisit, they probably can. The whole world knows sit. China and Vietnam seem to want Thailand for themself alone. Sharing with the US and Europe is too difficult. Mr. Thaksin is also very vunnerable. He has no country no real home and yet, nearly 2/3 of Thai's population like Thaksin. Yes, security tightening is the right thing to do for Thailand. It's the last biggest freedom country beside Maylaysia and Indonisia down in South Pacific ocean. Good luck and get more help from better experts.
In 1970, Thailand seemed a little further away from the Communist. She has Lon Nol South Vietnam Loas and United States as cushion. Now it's like right next door. Thank to Hun Sen, the bower to the both Communist Vietnam and China.
Ahbisit's security guards look like boy scouts.
thai military is useless. It can't even do crowd control.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Those MIB are the left over Khmer Rouge. They ran to Thailand because their 4 other leaders are indicted for murder. Who the fuck else wear black?
On a serious note, why did the so-called MIB place themselves so close to the target?
This whole story lacks credible.
That is how government of siam run , is just like episode of siam play . which it knows good in manipulate thing make almost likes real but the world is not that stupid . watch it close enough it 'l back fire.
bunch of idiots in here!
Since Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge commander, now a Khmer Rouge leader and had many of his political opponents and journalists assassinated, I wonder if he have any plan to assassinate the Thai Prime Minister (Ahbullshit Vejjajiva)?
11:59 PM
Does that include you as one of those idiots ?
Khmers,
The Plan of Assassination of Thai's PM is REAL OR NOT, nobody knows. Only the TIME will tell.
But Hun Sen's MIB are REAL Men training in Kompong Speu by Hue and Indonesian trainers.
Chea Vichea's Assassins were sent from that place.
11:59pm
Look at at yourself and say.....you know what? I am an idiot as well.
And then apologize to everyone in this forum.
And if you don't.....you're a funking moron.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
That's an easy way Thai MP must sent some of good assassinators into Cambodia to kill Hun Xen and then everything will going well
