Thai politics: PM 'not concerned about threat'
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is not worried after he received a phone call threat, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said Saturday.
Mr Suthep said officials are probing the case to see whether a person or a political group is behind the call.
The premier would not change his phone number, he said, adding that security would not be increased for the protection of the premier either.
He also said that the government has began speaking with ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra, starting by contacting his close aides. He said he would like to request Mr Thaksin to tell his close aides to stop creating chaos in the country.
