BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's military makes way for a new administration in coming weeks, but the generals will
keep a
tight grip on
power by filling an interim cabinet and legislature with soldiers, military sources said on Wednesday. The armed forces took
power on May 22 in a bloodless coup following six months of street demonstrations that contributed to the ousting of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. The
junta has since purged officials linked to Yingluck and her brother, Thaksin, a former premier himself and widely seen as the
power behind Yingluck's government.
