AP News in Brief
Thai troops detain Cabinet minister who surfaced from hiding to condemn coup
• BANGKOK (AP) -- Thai troops detained a Cabinet minister who defiantly emerged from hiding on Tuesday to condemn last week's military coup and urge a return to civilian rule, in the first public appearance by any member of the ousted government.
• About half a dozen soldiers took Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang into custody in a chaotic scene at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand in Bangkok, where he had just finished giving a surprise news conference.
• The junta, which seized power Thursday, is already holding most top members of the Southeast Asian country's elected administration and has ordered the rest to surrender.
• Chaturon called for elections and warned that resistance to the army overthrow could grow, which could lead to "a disaster for this country."
• When the news conference was finished and Chaturon was being interviewed by a group of Thai journalists, soldiers entered the room, surrounded him, and escorted him out through a crowd of reporters.
