Thailand Army Declares Martial Law -- BBC
The Thai army says that it is imposing martial law amid a political crisis "to preserve law and order".
The army has also granted itself wide-ranging powers to enforce its decision.
The military, which last took power in 2006, stated that the move, which gives the army control of nationwide security, was not a coup.
Martial law comes after a long-running political crisis, and months of escalating tensions between the government and the opposition.
The chief security advisor to the interim prime minister said the government had not been consulted about the army's decision.
"Everything is normal except the military is responsible for all national security issues," said Paradorn Pattanatabut.
