Police officers examine the scene of a small explosion next to a barricade set up by anti-government protesters outside Bangkok's Don Muang airport November 30, 2008. Foreign governments are increasingly concerned at the closure of Suvarnabhumi airport since Tuesday by political protesters as part of their campaign to topple the government of Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat. The U.S. embassy in Bangkok said it had asked the Thai foreign ministry to provide "appropriate compensation" to U.S. citizens stranded by the closure of Suvarnabhumi and the older Don Muang airport, a big domestic hub.REUTERS/Darren Whiteside (THAILAND)
