Thailand to Elect Female Prime Minister; Fighter Jet Intercepts Plane Near Obama
Thailand looks set to elect its first-ever female prime minister, CNN reports. Exit polling shows "Yingluck Shinawatra of the Pheu Thai party with a wide lead over incumbent Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva of the Democratic Party." Shinawatra's party also appears to be set to take the majority of seats in Thailand's House of Representatives. The election has been hotly contested due to violent protests and clashes between supporters of the two political factions. [CNN]
