In Thailand, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva today called for a swift end to mass anti-government protests following fresh bloodshed, saying he had a back-up plan to solve the crisis if the demonstrators refuse to disperse. He demanded the opposition Red Shirts give a clear answer by Monday on whether they will accept his offer to hold elections in mid-November if they disperse within the next few days. Mr. Abhisit said in national television that Terrorists and people who live abroad want to disrupt the reconciliation plan. No matter whether the protesters stop the rally or not, we have a back-up plan which will lead to a resolution of the problem, he added.
