Anyone Hear About Bombs Found On Ksr?

[beejoir]

Just over heard a guy on the phone to his friend on KSR they said they found 16 bombs!!!

Any ideas???

[junkofdavid2]

My giirlfriend said this is now online on the thai news site ( in thai ). I don't see it on the English Bangkok Post or The Nation yet.

[leisurely]

Any more news? I looked at the Thai news at 9 and couldn't see anything about it. Anyone else?

Nothing in ThaiRath online today. Perhaps the OP is mistaking Ratchayothin with KSR?

Blast at Ratchayothin

Then why 16 bombs?

Sounds like it might be something new.

I hope not.

Well, my husband has just checked multiple Thai news websites and still sees nothing about it.

Crouton, which site did your girlfriend find this news on?

I never believed overheard conversations in the gents toilet's either !! Sure you didn't overhear and what they were really saying is that "they had just found 16 drunk pomms in KSR" ?

I have to agree with you SBK. My wife checked plenty of Thai news sites this morning and she couldn't find anything about this story too.

Well, it appears to be another misunderstanding as my husband has found an article on Thairath stating they found bombs in the South last night.

Perhaps this is what your friend heard?

A bomb exploded in a busy market yesterday, wounding 11 people as hundreds of angry Buddhists gathered in the town centre to call for tougher security measures.

The bomb, packed with shrapnel, was placed next to a pork stall inside a water pipe left behind by construction workers. Police believe the explosion was set off by mobile phone. Two soldiers and a police officer were among the injured.

A second bomb went off in the bathroom of Yala's main bus terminal, but there were no injuries.

Reports of four other bombs had police rushing around Yala city to defuse them. The incidents forced the authorities to cut off signals for mobile phones in the province for most of the day.

I think this thread should be closed until there's news confirmation. All there needs to be is a rumour for panic to set in, which could cause more injuries than an actual bombing. PM a mod if you have a credible link to justify this rumour.
