Three Russian tourists have been subjected to a knife attack in
Bangkok, Thailand.

Unidentified persons armed with knives attacked three citizens of St.
Petersburg Wednesday night on the famous Khaosan Road in a tourist
zone, stabbing them. Two women have been taken to hospital. They are
currently in a grave condition.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has sent a note to Thailand's ministry
with a request to hold a "thorough investigation of this incident,"
Interfax news agency quoted the ministry's information department as
saying.

The incident follows other highly publicised attacks on foreigners in
the country. Earlier this month two Thai fishermen were convicted of
raping and murdering British student Katherine Horton over the New Year
holidays.
