Premise: Sondhi Limthongkul, the founder of the political movement which overran Bangkok's airport last year, is in hospital after a gunman wielding an AK-47 ambushed his car at a petrol station and sprayed it with bullets early this morning. The unknown number of gunmen shot out the tyres of the car owned by Mr Sondhi, the head of the People's Alliance for Democracy 'yellow shirt' movement, and riddled the vehicle with bullets. Stray bullets also hit a nearby public bus.
Hypothesis: This event took place in 2012.
