He was named prime minister on April 7 by a coalition of pro-military parties that emerged with a parilamentary majority after an election a month earlier.

Without expression, he read a speech of several minutes express- ing regrets about the violent crackdown that has elicited almost universal outrage from Thais. The broadcast was believed to be pre-recorded because Suchinda was reportedly spotted leaving his residence at about the same time as his resignation message aired. His plans were not immediately known. “I am deeply sorry about the fighting and loss of people’s lives and and property. Even though the tension has subsided, the sorrow and hurt remain in people’s hearts. I would like to take political responsibility by resigning,” he said.

The blast injured at least nine people, police said. It pulverized 400-yards of two-lane highway, twisting guard rails and covering the carcasses of cars with rubble. “Institutions in crisis themselves become the biggest encouragement for criminal attacks ... . We must react before lack of trust drags down everything,” former Premier tino Craxi said after hearing of Falcone’s murder, the news agency ANSA reported. Major political parties have been inable to put together a newgovnt and the Parliament has failed to elect a president, Italy’s head of state, who designates the mier Before his transfer to the Justice Ministry in Rome last year, Falcone had led a corps of fellow Palermo magistrates handling the nation’s most delicate Mafia probes. At the ministry, Falcone handled policy regarding prison inmates, including Mafia figures who agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. He was hailed nationwide for his courage and was considered the leading expert on the Mafia. “The man who symbolized for the world Italy’s fight against the Mafia is dead,” the RAI television network announced.
