At least 21 victims, both the army and the protesters were killed while 800 others injured.

Abhisit said that the government's task is to separate the terrorists from the innocent protesters.

"Once we could separate the innocent protesters from the terrorists, we would do to make sure that the terrorists must take responsibility for the tragedy. 

The government would conduct rehabilitation process and will continue for everyone who suffers losses of lives and business damage.

"As for political situation, govt coalition parties continue to consult each other so we have parallel measures to deal with situation."

A committee will be set up to investigate the incident, he said.
