BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's military rulers settled down to work at their Bangkok headquarters on Tuesday, firmly in charge with royal endorsement while rounding up critics and searching for weapons they fear could still be used to fight their takeover.

Soldiers burst into a journalists' club in Bangkok and detained a former minister after he had denounced the coup saying it would bring disaster.
