Bangkok, May 28 : Fearing a large-scale outbreak of terrorism, Thailand’s Army has stepped up its surveillance to prevent another Red Shirts-type of uprising.

According to the Bangkok Post, some Red Shirt politicians, who have connections in the three southern border provinces, could hire insurgents from the lower South to launch attacks in Bangkok.
The concerns have prompted intelligence authorities to monitor the movements of suspected insurgents, especially those who are already in Bangkok.
One incident, which led the army to fear possible terror attacks was a car bomb at the Poseidon massage parlour car park on Ratchadaphisek Road in Bangkok on April 4, the source said.
While the army is preparing for the possibility of violence, the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation favours ending the curfew in Bangkok and other provinces tomorrow.

Bangkok and 23 other provinces are under curfew from midnight tonight to 4am tomorrow.
