Topic: Two Bangkok bombing suspects cleared (Read 355 times)
Saw a report stating it was not foreign terrorism. Is this due to the target? Know there is some local stuff going on,just not up to date on that at all.
Hmm, I wonder why they seem to have left out the Australian and American suspects.

Bangkok Bomber: Western MSM silent about 2 taken into custody
Police say two men seen in security video, in front of man identified as main suspect, were Chinese tourist and his guide and are definitely no longer suspects
Thai police have cleared two suspects in the Bangkok shrine bombing after one of them turned himself in and said he was a tour guide, and the other was a Chinese tourist.
National police spokesman Lt Gen Prawut Thavornsiri said the two men were “definitely” no longer suspects.
The two men were seen in a security video standing in front of a man dressed in a yellow T-shirt who police have identified as the main suspect, shortly before the bomb exploded on Monday evening.
Three days after the bombing, which killed 20, the motives remain unclear and there has been no claim of responsibility. Authorities appear to have few solid leads and have given confusing and sometimes contradictory statements on the investigation.
A spokesman for the ruling military junta on Thursday said the attack was unlikely to be the work of an international terror group, the day an arrest warrant issued for the main suspect described him as an “unnamed foreigner”. Police have not said how they reached that conclusion.
