BANGKOK: Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra (pic) apologised Sunday (Feb 23) over the deaths of scores of Muslim protesters who suffocated in army trucks two decades ago in the country's south.
The apology is believed to be the first he has made in public over the incident known as the "Tak Bai massacre", and comes nearly four months after the statute of limitations expired and murder charges against seven suspects were dropped.
