Little evidence of Thaksin graft
BBC News
Thai investigators are struggling to find definite evidence that ex-Premier Thaksin Shinawatra is guilty of graft.
Gen Sonthi Boonyaratglin, who launched last month's coup to oust Mr Thaksin, said it was "difficult to implicate" him in any major corruption cases.
The news is a major set-back for the coup leaders, who cited massive government corruption as one of the main reasons for the takeover.
Speculation is mounting that Mr Thaksin might try to return to Thailand soon.
He is currently staying with his daughter in London.
On Thursday Mr Thaksin's wife, Pojaman Shinawatra, met with Prem Tinsulanonda, the top adviser to Thailand's revered king, in what reports suggest was an attempt to ease the way for her husband to fly back to Bangkok.
But in an interview with the English-language Nation newspaper, Gen Sonthi said: "If he's really concerned about the country, he shouldn't try to come back at present."
Asked what would happen if Mr Thaksin "just got on a plane", Gen Sonthi said: "It wouldn't be allowed to land". |

yes, because that is what he's all about: implementing sharia law.
Come back to planet reality will you? As if this board doesn't have enough crap about Muslims and hysteria related to Islam. |

Well ok, sorry for not being more specific in my comment: implementing sharia law to all of Thailand (or any part of it beyond the 3 provinces with high muslim populations). |
