Nine dead in bloody attacks on red shirts

The government sued the opposition for peace on Saturday night, after a failed but bloody attack by police and the army on red shirt encampments left nine people dead and hundreds wounded in bloody street battles.
A spokesman said Korbsak Sabhavasu, the prime minister's secretary-general, has been assigned to try to negotiate a truce with the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) leaders
The Centre for Public Administration in Emergency Situations (CPAES) spokesman Col Sansern Kaewkamnerd announced the move in a nationwide television address about 9.30pm.
He said talks were needed immediately to separate the two sides and end the ongoing clashes, because the situation was heading out of control and there could be further casualties on both sides.
Hiro Muramoto, a Japanese photographer who worked for Thomson Reuters in Tokyo, was shot and killed during the riots.
The call for truce came after at least 100 soldiers were reportedly wounded in the clashes with the red-shirts at Khok Wua intersection on Ratchadamnoen Avenue on Saturday night while trying to advance towards Phan Fa bridge amid fierce resistance by the red-shirts.
Television reports said the red-shirts lit a gas cylinder and rolled it toward the soldiers at Khok Wua intersection. The subsequent explosion wounded at least 50 soldiers.
At the same time, gunshots were reportedly fired from red-shirts, wounding 50-60 soldiers on Tanao road near Khok Wua intersection.
The wounded were rushed to Vajira Hospital.
Hand grenades were also thrown at soldiers who were equipped with only shields, batons and tear gas launchers.
Noises of machinegun fire and three M79 grenade explosion were also heard.
The soldiers were forced to retreat.
An onlooker and an ASTV cameraman were reportedly wounded.
The call for truce came about eight hours after security forces began a crackdown on red-shirt protesters, firing teargas and rubber bullets at them intermittenlty from 1pm in an effort to take control of the Phan Fa Bridge which they have used as a base for about a month.
At least 199 people had been injured, some with serious gunshot wounds, according to the Public Health Ministry.
Col Sansern earlier said the government would to clear the protesters from Phan Fa Bridge, which is one of the two main rally sites, by nightfall. But the operation failed.
A UDD leader Veera Musikhapong early on Saturday night called on Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to dissolve the House of Representatives and leave the country immediately.
He also condemned the government, alleging it authorised soldiers to use weapons against the red-shirt protesters weapons on Ratchadamnoen Avenue.
He said the UDD's fight against the government had reached its peak, and exhorted red-shirts throughout the country to gather at the city halls in their provinces.
Mr Veera said a number of red-shirts would be moved from Ratchaprasong, under the leadership of Natthawut Saikua and Arisman Pongruangrong, to protect the other rally base at Phan Fa Bridge, which the government aimed to seize tonight.
PM's Office Minister Sathit Wongnongtoey posted a Twitter message on Saturday night the Government House was attacked with two M79 grenades about 8.10pm, but only one exploded.
Mr Sathit also said a helicopter which flew over the rally area was fired on at, wounding one soldier.
