Reported by Welt Online on Friday, 17 April 2009 (on April 17, 2009)

The founder of Thailand’s "yellow shirt" protest movement, which was behind the week-long occupation of Bangkok’s main airports late last year, was shot and wounded early on Friday, a spokesman for his movement said. A doctor at Vajira Hospital in Bangkok told reporters that Sondhi Limthongkul, who had a bullet in his head, was successfully operated on.
