Sondhi claims he was the target

Sondhi claimed he was targetted for murder by a group who feared that his political party; New Politics Party, will expose corruption.

"The M-79 attack on November 15 near stage at the rally led People's Alliance for Democracy at Sanam Luang proved my point that I am target of murder," Sondhi said. The attack near the stage where Sondhi was speaking injured five, including two boys. 

He quoted his sources as confirming that there was an attempt to set up an execution team, a collaboration of many groups who share the same goal of killing him.

The PAD rally on November 15 was aimed at criticising ousted Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra and Cambodia's PM Hun Sen.

He also thanked Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for assigning retired deputy national police chief Pol Gen Thani Somboonsub, deputy secretary general to the prime minister, to supervise the bomb attack case.

However he believed there would be no progress and that he could not arrest the assailants.

Sondhi who survived a mafia-styled attack in April said that in future he will be more careful. Police have failed to find the attackers so far.
