-

BANGKOK: Three drug suspects, including an American, shot and stabbed their way out of a court before brazenly fleeing in a pick-up truck, police said yesterday. The three were on the loose more than 24 hours after breaking out of a Pattaya court holding room on Monday. Officers were combing the beach resort city. “If they resist, officials have to carry out decisive measures,” said Krissana Pattanacha­roen, national police office spokesman. The escapees are an American, his local wife and a male suspect.
