Thai protestor dies

A blast has killed at least one Thai anti-government protester and wounded 22 others at Bangkok\'s Don Mueang airport.



Local TV said a grenade had been fired at the domestic hub, which is occupied by the People\'s Alliance for Democracy.



Meanwhile a protest by pro-government activists has forced the constitutional court to move a final hearing on a case that could see the ruling party banned.



The hearing is being held at Bangkok\'s administrative court, because of security fears at the constitutional court\'s own building, which was surrounded by government supporters.



The judges are set to decide whether Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat\'s People Power Party and two of its coalition partners committed electoral fraud.



If they are found guilty, Mr Somchai could be banned from politics and many cabinet ministers could be forced to step down.
