Security tightened following the bombing of PPP office
Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont on Tuesday instructed police and relevant authorities to beef up security in the wake of a bombing incident on Monday's night at an office of the People Power Party at Lat Phrao.

No casualites were reported.

"I have received separate reports from police and the Election Commission and ordered the law enforcement authorities to get to the bottom of the explosion at PPP office," he said.

Surayud ruled out the speculation that the December 23 election might be delayed because of the campaignrelated violence and the flash floods in the three southernmost provinces. He said all main roads in the South were open inspite of the inundation in certain areas.

"The balloting is on course and the government will try to facilitate voters in casting their ballots," he said.
