It also agreed to increase government borrowing to support the beleaguered economy.

He is safe now and able to talk, said Dr Chaiwan Chareonchoktawee, director of Vajira hospital, after Sondhi had an operation to remove bullet fragments and bits of skull bone. Other leaders of Sondhis Peoples Alliance for Democracy (PAD), told their supporters to remain calm. Bangkok Metropolitan Police Commissioner Vorapong Chiewpreecha told television that 84 spent cartridges were found at the scene of the assassination attempt. We also found an M-79 grenade that was fired but missed Mr Sondhis vehicle. It hit a passing public bus but did not go off, he said. Sondhis driver was seriously wounded and his bodyguard suffered minor injuries. Sondhis yellow-shirted PAD is a motley collection of royalists, academics, ex-military people and Bangkoks middle classes united in their loathing of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was deposed in a 2006 military coup and lives in self-imposed exile. Thaksins red-shirted supporters invaded and caused the cancelation of a summit of Asian leaders in Thailand last weekend and then staged protests in Bangkok in which two people were killed before being ended on Tuesday. PAD leaders denounced the failure of the security services to prevent the attack on Sondhi, especially as security was supposed to be tight under the emergency, and called for the national police chief to be sacked. But they told their members to be calm and did not call for action, other than the continuation of a series of local rallies, the next to be held on the tourist island of Phuket on Saturday. Were not pointing the finger at anybody as the mastermind of this operation. We will wait for the government to find out, Suriyasai Katasila told a news conference broadcast live on PADs radio station. Earlier, another PAD leader, Pipop Thongchai, had blamed Thaksins lieutenants who could not accept defeat after their setbacks over the past week, when troops forced them to end a siege of Government House.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Terrelle Pryor isnt interested in playing in the CFL. Hes also not interested in speaking to the NCAA. The former Ohio State quarterback announced Tuesday he would not return to Ohio State for his senior season in the wake of an NCAA suspension and ongoing investigation. The Saskatchewan Roughriders own Pryors CFL negotiating rights and had extended him a tentative offer. \"They sent the package last night, I forwarded it to Terrelle and Terrelle said that he wasnt interested today,\" Pryors attorney, Larry James, said Thursday. James also said that Pryor will no longer co-operate with NCAA investigators looking into Ohio States football program, ex-players and current players. \"He doesnt need a reason (to talk to them). Hes no longer a student-athlete,\" said James, who added that Pryor doesnt feel he owes the NCAA any answers. \"Theyre not going to give him or any other student-athlete any due process rights to speak of, so hes moved on.\" Asked if Pryor gave him a reason for his lack of interest in the Roughriders, James said, \"He did not go into discussion. He just said hes not interested in the Canadian Football League. Obviously the offer was not sufficient to whet his taste buds.\" Roughriders general manager Brendan Taman said Pryor would be a unique fit in the CFL. \"Theres not a lot of six-foot-six, 230-pound quarterbacks that run like him up here,\" Roughriders GM Brendan Taman said. \"Hes sort of an enigma for our league. Theres nobody really up here right now who would compare with him. Brandon Jacobs Jersey. \" Pryor could still apply to enter a special NFL supplemental draft later this summer, he could play in a minor league such as the United Football League, or he could work out and take several months to prepare for next springs full NFL draft. James said the six-foot-six, 233-pounders first choice is to go in a supplemental draft. \"Hes definitely looking at the supplemental draft,\" James said, adding that Pryor is in the process of hiring a trainer and an agent. Pryor was one of five Ohio State players suspended last December for the first five games of the 2011 season for accepting improper benefits from a Columbus tattoo-parlour owner. Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was forced to resign last week for knowing about his players involvement in trading signed equipment, championship rings and other memorabilia to the tattoo-parlour owner for cash and discounted tattoos. Ohio States career rushing leader among quarterbacks with 2,164 yards, Pryor ranks fifth in the schools record book for passing yards with 6,177. His 57 touchdown passes matches the Ohio State mark also held by Bobby Hoying. The NCAA is investigating the entire Ohio State program, in particular allegations revolving around cash and other improper benefits and sweetheart deals on cars. Pryor has been a lightning rod during the investigation, admitting he had dealings with the tattoo-parlour owner. The NCAA is also looking into the cars he has owned and been loaned while at Ohio State. ' ' '
