Thailand's Military Declares a Coup

Thai Military Says It's Taken Over The Country In A Coup -- CNN

Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- The Thai military has taken control of the government in a coup, the country's military chief announced in a national address Thursday.

Military officials also imposed a curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. local time (11 a.m. - 6 p.m. ET), authorities said in a televised address.

The developments are the latest in a chain of failed attempts to defuse tensions that have simmered since November. The discord has its roots in politics, and led to both pro- and anti-government factions to fight over the country's leadership.
