Prawit: No security needs to be beefed up following death threats
Play
Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said Monday it is not necessary to tighten security for important figures after assassination plots targeting him and Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha were posted on social media.
The current measure was enough to take care of, he said.
“I’m fine and not frightened. Don’t worry. You'd better be worried about those who posted the death threats but I don’t know where they are,” he said.
Last week, PM Prayut ordered a manhunt for people posting death threats against him and Prawit.
Thawip Netniyom, National Security Council (NSC) secretary general, told reporter earlier today that the assassination plots targeting the top two country leaders came from lese majeste suspects who are living in Laos.
