Reports claim the foreigner who was injured threw 1st bomb at taxi and attempted to throw 2nd bomb at police but missed and blew off his own legs. Police found Iranian currency at the scene of the 2nd explosion but they have not confirmed whether the foreigner is an Iranian national. Other reports claim he is of Lebanese descent.

PM Yingluck Shinawatra, who's on a provincial tour, has been informed of the bombings in Bangkok.

wolf5370 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Is the Souther problems about Muslim/non-muslim - or more about argument over ownership of those border provinces. I would suggest the latter - of course this doesn't stop the fanatics turning it into a religious rather than geographic dispute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jingthing Posted February 14, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) The TIMING relates to the recent Thailand terror threat (also Azerbaijan), fertilizer warehouse arrest, Hezbollah-Iran bombings in India and Georgia, but the TARGET makes no sense. Jury still out. By timing, I mean the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah's deputy leader, Imad Mughniyah. Friendly suggestion to Thai officials: please stop trying to meddle with US embassy warnings and worry more about terrorism than tourism profits.
