Army chief blames same group from attacks in 2006 for Friday’s explosions

 

 

Army Commander-in-Chief General Apirat Kongsompong has blamed the same group of people “with an old mindset” who engineered bomb attacks in Bangkok in 2006 for being behind the multiple explosions in the city today (Friday), but he says they used “new faces” to carry out the violent incidents.

 

He said that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has called on the national police chief, Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda, and commanders of the three armed forces to handle the situation.

 

Pol Gen Chakthip was appointed by Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan to take charge of the investigation and to track down all those responsible.

Oh dear AK 47 , he really wants his own coup does he not!

 

 "He admitted, however, that he was concerned that the political elements of some discontented people might capitalize on the explosions to blame the military for perpetrating the incidents."

 

Well now that you mention it!

Its amazing the speed with which suspects are discovered, the amount of CCTV's working when the army need pictures and the numbers deployed to comb the bus stations. Meanwhile we are still awaiting the discovery of the thugs that attacked Ja New. Very much a 2 speed system.

That was quick. Case closed. 

But the perpetrators of 2006 bombinhs were never named and procecuted. 

There is no any trace of information who carried yesterdays attack. 

 

For both those incidens I do blame army special unit for plating those bombs, to have justification for special law measures, like marchal law and to stage yet another, long awaited by some army generals, military coup. 

 

Army boss mentioned staging a coup several times this year. He made public declarations, to mass media, and never withdraw them

Army chief blames to same group, surely they have left the army by now, and this is a bunch of new recruits.

Gotta keep the tourists coming! 

And one of them had been caught with material in possession. Case closed! 

From Khaosod;

 

"LIVE at BTS Sala Daeng in Silom, where bomb squad officials are inspecting whether a black box under an escalator is an explosive. The box turned out to be a false alarm. The box, a watch box, was empty."

 

Someone forgot something..

This was yesterday's news why so slow? and based on nothing, today Prawit suspects Southern insurgents probably because they caught 2 heading South now they can't blame red shirts but not only insurgents dwell in the South.

Wouldn’t be the right moment for the government to creat a diversion.

I wonder if Prawit offered his services to defuse the suspected bomb when he heard it was a watch box?

If so, that could be why if was empty (afterwards).

He's spot on then...

'No Problem', with that annoying false smile, point of finger and hidden knife in the back.

 

They cannot admit that Thailand, as with most other countries, do and does have many PROBLEMS...

 

 

Latest news they have arrested 3 Bangkok technical students who have also already confessed.

So they now arrested 3 teen students and 2 southerners. Next will be couple of Myanmars and Uyghurs. Meanwhile the inept Army Chief and the clueless PM will stick to the Red Shirts as accomplices. This is turning out to be a circus with those clowns.

Maybe thrown in a Farang for diversity ????

And I suppose as they are minors details will have to be kept secret.

Do you have any proof to support your accusations?

 

Or just happens that idea supports your agenda?

Ridiculous! Of course those nice sensible peace loving democratic Red Shirts would never do anything like this; their kind generous totally honest paymasters wouldn't let them.

 

Viva the Shins eh Eric?

 

Actually the speculations can be wide and far, encompassing all the known groups and new ones. But that's all they are speculations.

Has any group or persons come forward to claim the bkk bomb attacks and give their reasons for the attacks? One will think that's the norm and aftermath of such bomb attacks. Ain't no need for speculations. 

I'm just saying.

As a French citizen, we have hordes (yes hordes) of algerians, morrocans, tunisians and whatnot from the african continent causing the same havoc everywhere they go, they get to travel on French passports then they cause havoc wherever they go. Like the supposedly french nut who stole a phone in Tukcom Pattaya a few weeks ago and tried to run away with it, French passport, French citizenship but algerian thief scumbag.

 

It has gotten bad in places such as Phuket to the point when I meet Thai people for the first time, I introduce myself this way "I'm farangset, no muslim", then the Thais understand they're dealing with a true Frenchman and in 9 cases out of 10, they turn from skeptics to friendly.

 

The mass immigration pouring into Europe is one of the top 2 reasons why I left France for Thailand, so I know exactly what you mean.

 

We definitely could use a Trump guy in Europe.

A racist guy living in thailand from selling girls i advise the security check for every so called frensh living in thailand because they are selling human and drug truffic

Lol. I remember the RTP closing the case on the 2006 bombings because they had no leads and couldn't identify who did it..

..

...

...

After accusing an innocent man first of course

if  only they had to do tm30 none of this would  have been  possible.

Junta Chief and head of the NCPO General Prayuth was much easier to say than this guy's name.  Thinking forward, that'll be one helluva campaign poster for PM.  Vote for Apirat Kongwongadongpingpongcomealong...... the General you can trust! 

 

What's happen to all the cameras? They spent million or billion baht to install the cameras everywhere.
