Red-shirt protesters dispersed from the US embassy at 1:15 pm Wednesday after their leaders submitted a letter to the embassy officials.

Jatuporn Promphan and other leaders met the embassy officials for about 20 minutes and came outside to tell the protesters that the embassy would not confirm the reports that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra had been eavesdropped US intelligence officials ordering certain red-shirt leaders to carry out sabotage.

Jatuporn said the embassy officials told him to find out about the reports from Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban who leaked the reports.

As a result, Jatuporn concluded that Suthep made up the story.
