Suspended Army officer Maj Gen Khattiya Sawasdipol announced Saturday that he is a leader of the red-shirt movement and is training the movement's fighters for fighting against the military.
He called a radio programme to say that he had not escaped into Malaysia but he went to Hat Yai on Thursday to train the red-shirt people there.
"We are now at war with the military and I appointed myself a leader of the Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship to fight for democracy and the red-shirt people accepted this," Khattiya said.
He said he will return to Bangkok Saturday.
Kattiya was accused of behind a plot to assassinate Army Chief Gen. Anupong Paojinda when an M79 grenade was launched at his office on Friday, an accusation he denied.
