Businessman killed by bomb

NAKHON RATCHASIMA: -- A businessman was killed when bombs planted in his car were set off yesterday alongside the Attorney Region 3 Office in Nakhon Ratchasima. Two Army officers who were passing the scene were also hurt.

Police rushed to the scene at about 4pm to find the car totally destroyed. It took 10 minutes to extinguish the blaze.

They found the charred body of Thanakorn Meemol, 42, on the ground under the driver's door.

Major Nareumol Thong-washirapaiboon, a woman officer, and Senior Colonel Pattavuth Sutthirat were taken to Khai Suranaree Hospital after suffering shrapnel wounds.

Police learned that Thanakorn went to the office to discuss a drug case.

It was when he was about to open the door of his car that the bombs exploded, killing him instantly.

Police found two exploded bombs and one unexploded device inside the car.

They suspect the killers planted the explosives then detonated them by remote control from a distance where they could see the victim getting into his car.

Police believe the motive was a personal or a business-related conflict.

sickning ,is business worth your life ,a cruel world we live in rip..........

I've been here 10 years now and have seen monks with brooms sweeping in front of them as they walk so as to not tread on (and kill) any insects. I have seen cars running over dogs and cats without even a hint of a rear brakelight. I have seen people actually slap beggars. I have also heard of (many times) people being blown to smithereens over a few thousand baht.

What happened to the 'middle path'? Lord Buddha, save your disciples!

This happened in Vegas recently, although the killer and the dead man were both foreigners, I believe. This leads me to believe that Thailand is sometimes very much like the Wild Wild West.

"Police believe the motive was a personal or a business-related conflict."

Well, they are not missing the blindingly obvious, then.

The exact same thing that happened to the sermon of the mount.
