Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej has accused protesters in Bangkok of trying to foment another coup."They want bloodshed in the country," he told journalists.In a day of stormy protests, supporters of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) invaded government buildings and a state-run television station.Organisers of the demonstration have ignored a deadline to leave, vowing to keep supporters on the streets until the government falls.The protesters accuse Mr Samak of running the country on behalf of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup and now in self-imposed exile amid corruption charges.This is just the latest of a series of shows of force staged by the PAD over recent months.~
