TantraMantra Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Warnings originating with Israel were given. The Thai government got upset as it was another blow for tourism. An arrest had to be made so the government could say the danger was over. They found a scapegoat. He cooperated with police by saying Hezbollah had changed their mind so tourists need not worry about visiting LOS. Police haven't charged him. Tourism is protected. He can go home to Lebanon, where he'll be in deep caca. He's a scapegoat . And is there any report of Hezbollah having attacked a target that was not connected with Israel. I doubt if there are enough Israelis on KS rd or Soi 22 to make them targets. This could be part of an Israeli plan to further discredit Hezbollah (and Iran) by adding a bomb plot in Thailand to their record. Who knows? Maybe only MOSSAD or CIA know the truth. Check the other thread -- the planned attacks were indeed real I did. What are you referring to ? A confession ? Not much proof in that. He could be paid off by TAT. A Hezbollah attack on BKK is so unlikely. They've got the wrong guy if there ever was one. But he'll do to Close the Case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPI Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I feel comfortable in Thailand specially if the government doesn't join the 'the terrorists are coming' paranoia and start wars like the USA."There isn't and there wasn't a terrorist threat. So stop calling the Thai authorities idiots. Thailand didn't wanted to make arrests of some Lebanese people on behalf of Israel. In Thailand you aren't a criminal just because Israel and the USA calling you so and Thailand don't want get involved in that conflict, because they have 'friends' or good ties to both sides. As result we got that alarmist and fear mongering warning by the US embassy to get everyone in line for the war of terror. Now we have an arrest but no charges to remain diplomatic and to please both sides - the enemies and the friends of that Lebanese resistance group. Only a moron would assume that that public warning saved him and made a terrorist attack impossible, If there was ever something planned like this it would happen anyway." Maaaate! Get a grip! What is it...11 Embassies have given warnings and the daily papers are asking people to look out for a suspect! Do us all a favour and don't turn on your computer until you're sober,ok?

ralphlsasser Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I didn't EVER think I would agree with the Nation, but I do this time. The whole world is laughing at Thailand for obvious reasons and the government is only concerned with tourist dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
