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."

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.
