In Thailand, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has threatened to retake a fortified encampment set up by anti-government protesters in the capital Bangkok. He was speaking on national television alongside the head of the Thai army, General Anupong Paojinda. <br/> <br/>Mr. Abhisit said, there will be a retaking of Ratchaprasong, protest site, but the process, the measure, how and when it will be done we cannot disclose because it depends on several things. <br/> <br/>Earlier, he rejected an offer by red-shirt demonstrators to end weeks of protests if he dissolved parliament within 30 days and held elections. <br/> <br/>The red-shirts have been occupying parts of Bangkok for six weeks. Many of the protesters are supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a military coup in 2006. <br/>
