BANGKOK, Jan 6 (TNA) – As tension between the US and Iran
grows, Thai police have tightened security measures at foreign embassies and
consulates.
The measures came after a US air strike on Friday killed top
Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad.
Thai Embassy in Amman, Jordan, has issued warning for Thai
nationals in Iraq to exercise precaution and avoid travelling to protest
sites. It has warned Thai people against
visiting Iraq until further notice.
National Police Chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda has
ordered all police units to impose security surveillance and stay on high
alert.
He said Thailand would continue security measures while
deploying extra police at sensitive locations including foreign embassies and
consulates as well as mosques and churches, he said.
Thailand was not directly linked to the conflict but police
would be on high alert, said Pol General Chakthip. (TNA)
