Security has been beefed up for army chief Anupong Paojinda following a grenade attack at army headquarters last week, apparently aimed at his office.
An army source said yesterday a battery of 150 soldiers and a team of bomb disposal experts had been reinforced at the army head office on Ratchadamnoen Avenue. Security accompanying Gen Anupong on motorcades had also been increased.
The security detail for Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon had also been stepped up, the source said.
The heightened protection for the army commander, minister and army compound came after an M79 grenade was fired on the night of Jan 14 into the sixth floor of the building which houses Gen Anupong's office.
