Gunshots Fired As TV Anchor Goes On Air

BANGKOK, Thailand (CBS) ― An apparent attack on a television station in Bangkok forced a presenter to throw himself to the floor during a broadcast on Nov. 28.

ASTV showed pictures of what appeared to be bullet holes in the windows of the TV station.

According to Thai media the presenter suffered slight injuries.

The TV station broadcasts on behalf of the anti-government movement, known as the People's Alliance for Democracy.

It comes as tension in the country hit new heights, after the embattled Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat imposed emergency law on the capital's two civilian airports in a bid to force out thousands of demonstrators who have occupied them and forced their closure.

The country is bitterly divided between supporters of Wongsawat and anti-government camps in a crisis that has turned increasingly violent in the last few days.
