Thailand’s crisis spreads as military train, troops detained
BANGKOK — Thailand’s political crisis has spread to the rural northeast, where protesters have blockaded a military train and detained hundreds of troops, officials said Thursday. Hundreds of anti-government campaigners are locked in a standoff with the military after Wednesday halting a train carrying armed soldiers and heavy equipment in the northern capital of Khon Kaen province. Also in a district of Khon Kaen overnight, hundreds of red-shirted protesters stopped three military buses with troops aboard and forced them to return to their base. And in a third incident nearby, the army said that 200 soldiers had been detained by protesters and were still being held.
