Thai Govt. Rejects Protesters' Offer of UN-Mediated Talks


The Thai government has rejected calls by opposition protesters for U.N.-mediated talks to end three days of deadly battles between the two sides in the capital, Bangkok.

The opposition activists, known as Red Shirts, said Sunday they were ready for U.N.-mediated negotiations provided the military stops a crackdown on their encampment.

Smoke rose above the city Sunday as Red Shirts set fire to tires at a barricade around their protest site in Bangkok's main commercial district.
