Another Canadian journalist has been seriously injured in a grenade blast during anti-government protests in Bangkok. Chandler Vandergrift has been named in several media reports as the Canadian journalist injured Thursday as troops charged a Red Shirts protestors' camp. Vandergrift has been closely following the unrest in Bangkok on his blog, The Nation's State. His last update was Tuesday and from his entries it was clear he was in the middle of the protests. Vandergrift has spent more than two years interviewing and photographing the people of Thailand, and is working on a book with Thai journalists about the conflict in Southern Thailand.
Vandergrift is the second Canadian hurt since the unrest began to overtake the capital of Thailand. Nelson Rand, a Canadian-born correspondent with the France 24 network, was shot in the leg, hand and abdomen May 14, his network reported. He underwent surgery for his injuries and is recovering.
