``Intense and fierce'' gun battle breaks out between Red Shirt protesters and military in Bangkok
Thai officials said on Sunday that an ``intense and fierce'' gun battle has broken out between anti-government Red Shirt protesters and the military in Bangkok.
Thai troops fired bullets and tear gas at anti-government protesters rioting near the US and Japanese embassies Friday as an army push to clear the streets sparked clashes that have killed two and turned central Bangkok into a virtual war zone.
