Former deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban has told the Department of Special Investigation that troops were not the ones that started shooting at red shirt protesters on April 10, 2010.
Speaking to reporters late Monday night after being questioned by DSI investigators for about 10 hours, Suthep said investigators had shown him a YouTube clip, which they claimed has been recorded during the day of April 10.
The clip showed what was purported to be troops firing at redshirt protesters with M16 and Tavor assault rifles.
Suthep said he told the DSI investigators that he had never seen the clip or learned of the shooting because operations to tighten security during the day of April 10 were closely witnessed by both newspaper and TV reporters.
