Bangkok
Despite new surveillance footage that might offer a possible
clue to the bombing in central Bangkok
Surveillance footage leaked to Thai
media shows a man in a blue shirt placing a bag on a riverside walkway, then
kicking it into the water shortly after the explosion several kilometers away
at the Erawan Shrine.
About 18 hours later, at 1pm on
Tuesday, an explosion took place at the same spot near a busy pier, causing no
casualties.
Colonel Winthai Suvaree, a spokesman
for Thailand
He said that a police sketch of the
suspect had been distributed to border posts.
Police spokesman Prawut Thawornsiri
said he believes the perpetrator would have timed an escape carefully and
“would not have much time to stay around.”
“I suspect that he may have left, but
we will keep searching, in case we can find others who may be in the country or
find clues, evidence and witnesses who may have seen him,” he told Channel 3 TV
network.
Police have offered a reward that on
Friday was raised to 3 million baht (US$85,000). On a police arrest warrant,
the suspect is described as a “foreign man,” although a military spokesman said
a connection to international terrorism seemed unlikely.
Thai police chief Somyot Poompanmoung
said investigators would need some luck to catch those behind the attack.
“I have to say we need some luck. If
the police have good fortune we might be able to make an arrest, but ... if the
perpetrator has good fortune maybe they can get away,” he told reporters
yesterday after a ceremonial show of security strength meant in part to
reassure the public over safety.
So far, the operation to find who
carried out the attack appears to have made little headway, with apparently contradictory
statements coming from the military-backed government and the police.
Theories abound as to who was
responsible for the attack.
They include ethnic Uighurs unhappy
that Thailand repatriated to China more than 100 of their countrymen who had fled
from there; Islamic separatists who have been carrying out an insurgency in
southern Thailand for a decade; frustrated supporters of former prime minister
Thaksin Shinawatra angry at the military government that opposes his return to
politics; and rival factions within the army contending for power.

Those dangerous people don't have compassionate. They do not care other people's lives. They listen what their gang want them to do and take it for action. So they should be shame of themselves.
回覆刪除Everyone should cherish one's life and others lives because nobody have right to take others lives.The moment I saw this kind of news, I felt angry. The world has become a scary place by yhese terrorism. If they don't stop, the world will never renew in the future.
