Two Thai policemen have been killed and 12 people wounded in a grenade blast and a drive-by shooting near anti-government protests in Bangkok, said authorities on Saturday.

Police said in the early hours of the morning a grenade attack hit a security checkpoint in front of a city park that forms the edge of the protest encampment.

"Eight people, including five police and three soldiers, were wounded," according to the Bangkok Emergency Medical Service. A hospital official said that one 35-year-old policeman died during surgery.

Earlier, one policeman was killed and four others, including two police and two civilians, were wounded when a man on a motorbike opened fire on a patrol in the nearby Silom financial district, which is under heavy guard.
