BANGKOK (Reuters) - A bomb wounded at least 16 people at an anti-government protest site in central Bangkok on Sunday, hospital authorities said, hours after government supporters vowed to "deal with" the protesters.

"A bomb went off in front of the Big C supermarket in Ratchaprasong. At the moment we know that at least eight people were injured but we have no idea how severe the injuries are," Thai national security chief Paradorn Pattanathabutr told Reuters.
