Thailand's army declares martial law

Interesting turn of events...

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand's army has declared martial law in a surprise announcement in Bangkok.

It was not immediately clear whether a coup d'etat was underway.

The move comes after six months of anti-government demonstrations aimed at ousting the government.

The army said in a statement that it took the action to "keep peace and order."

Now that is how many in the last 40+ years:D

Maybe as many coups as Italy has had Prime Ministers in the same period?

Interesting.

I'm going to be there for a couple of days next week.
