 BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Tens of thousands of protesters seeking the ouster of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra descended on Bangkok's busiest shopping district Wednesday, disrupting business and snarling traffic in the heart of the capital.
Thaksin's opponents accuse him of corruption, abuse of power, and electoral fraud.
As many as 40,000 demonstrators camped on the street outside the posh Siam Paragon shopping mall, which was closed in anticipation of the protest, said Col. Pinit Maneerat, spokesman for the Metropolitan Police.
