In another attempt to bring Thailand's ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to justice, the Department of Special Investigation will circulate copies of his arrest warrant on terrorism charges around the world.
The DSI's foreign division will give copies of the warrant to 187 Interpol member countries asking them to help capture Thaksin, DSI chief Tharit Pengdit said.
The DSI will also ask the Office of the Attorney-General to proceed with extradition requests to countries in which Thaksin has been living since his self-imposed exile.
