CCTV9英语新闻12月：泰国抗议者闯入情报部门 誓言接管所有政府机构

Security in Bangkok is tight as anti-government protesters prepare to seize key government offices to bring down the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. 

Hundreds woke up in camps fortified¹ with sandbags in preparation. Overnight, a clash between anti-government protesters and red shirt supporters outside of a rally venue² killed at least two and wounded dozens. One death was an anti-government student, the other was a supporter of the pro-government red shirts, believed to be a 23-year-old soldier.

In a bid to avoid further bloodshed, this morning the pro-government red-shirts declared an end to the demonstration³ at a stadium in Bangkok and urged their supporters to go home.
