Thailand under curfew amid army coup --- A curfew is in place across Thailand after the army announced it had taken control and suspended the constitution following months of political turmoil. -- Army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha imposed the 22:00 to 05:00 curfew along with a ban on political gatherings. -- Key political figures were detained while others, including the acting PM and ex-PM Yingluck Shinawatra, were ordered to report to the military. -- The army said it needed to restore order and enact political reforms. -- It declared martial law on Tuesday and gathered political leaders together in Bangkok for talks on the crisis. -- However, Gen Prayuth went on TV on Thursday to announce the coup. -- Several key figures at the talks, including opposition protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban and pro-government protest leader Jatuporn Prompan, were detained. -- Acting PM Niwatthamrong Boonsongphaisan was not at the talks and his whereabouts are unclear. -- His adviser, Paradorn Pattanathabutr, told Associated Press: "The rest of us who are outside are still fine and in safe places." -- More, BBC, http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-27527927
