BANGKOK (AFP) - A six-year-old girl on Monday became the third child to die in recent days in Thailand's political unrest, as the army chief warned the country could collapse if violence continues.

The girl died from wounds after a grenade attack on Sunday afternoon on a busy Bangkok shopping district, near a rally by demonstrators trying to oust Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
