  • Story Text: Small bombs exploded in Thailand on Saturday (March 21), injuring one person, while red-shirted protesters continued their rallies to demand the government dissolves parliament and calls snap elections.
    Witnesses at the blast site said a bomb was thrown near the Interior Ministry in Bangkok, injuring a government worker who was collecting garbage.
    Thai media reported another bomb was also hurled at the office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission but nobody was injured.
    Police said they were unsure if the attacks were linked to the red-shirted rally in Bangkok.
