3 Foreigners Injured In Bangkok Bomb Explosion

[Pedzie]

Do a google on Thailand Explosions and you will see a good assortment of credible international news reports of these explosions in Bangkok, Thailand. report consensus is clearly that the "bombers" were Iranian, and had lived in Bangkok and also that they used hand grenades. Israeli intelligence indicates that they were targeting high profile targets in Bangkok such as the Israeli embassy and a synangogue as well as other targets where there would be a high concentration of Americans and Israelis as well as other foreigners.

Are you suggesting that the news is reporting that Israel knew about these terrorist suspects before this incident and knew their targets? One thing you can almost be assured of is that any statements from Israel at this point are not credible and simply political. They may turn out to be true but they may very well turn out to be untrue .. especially any ties these morons had to the Iran government.

No suggestion intended. It's nice to be "just a facts" person. The three men involved are Iranian, two captured or killed and one escaped on a plane out of Thailand before the Thai authorities could respond to securing exit points. If you want to allow yourself to formulate scenarios, the possibilities are unlimited. Iran is a relative newcomer to foreign urban bombing terror and not as "organized" or tracked as fervently as other arab groups by Isareali Mossad and US CIA/NSA simply because they haven't been organized well. If one were to "speculate" further, you could logically assume that Mossad and maybe the US intelligence was aware of Iranians in Thailand.

It is a fact that one of the Iranians lived in a house in the district in Bangkok and that his house was damaged by a prematurely exploded hand grenade. To me, the Iranians are a big concern because they have nothing to lose. That's the group that is always most feared. The ones who have nothing to lose. Some posts indicated a point of view that problems between Israel and the US with Iran are " not Thailand's concern." This is a very risky path for Thailand to follow, particularly since civil war has been raging between Thais and Malay Thai muslims in the south for years and just today, news of another bombing and the killing of two "Malay tourists" who would be added to the overall approximate 6,000 dead toll.

not such a newcomer, http://www.iranterro...ent/view/38/56/

It's a pity a detailed list of CIA/Mossad atrocities aren't readily available on the net! If it was, you would find it makes the above list seem very short in comparison.

Sure they are evil

But they know this matter correctly that bomber never use his real identify and also they know general peoples dont care or dont know about this important .. so they use this story and make it highlight in media

Why are we assuming the ID card found was his real ID card? Cause it's Iranian? Would you rather it be from the Philippines?

So many conclusions being drawn on very little factual information. If we were investigating this case with actual hands on evidence it would be one thing but all we have to go on it the crap being fed to us.

Agree that we have to assume all of this is crap being fed to us but haven't they confirmed this guys identity? Then again, I remember learning that a number of terrorists names as being on the 9/11 planes turned up being alive later and living in countries in the middle east. Probably pretty hard to nail down who is when records were probably not even that great in their home country when they were born .... who knows who has taken over whose identity.

Looking at the video 2 things are plainly evident.

1. The terrorist has been defeeted.

2. Levis are virtually indestructable.

Good observation

And the moral of the story is, if you are terrorist, dress entirely in denim.

[Forethat]

What really scares the he** out of me is that watching the video of the idiot terrorist in agony with his legs blown off made me feel good.

Conspiracy theories will be deleted without further comment. There's no shortage of places to discuss them on the internet, but this isn't one of them.

[OzMick]

How did you identify them? Were they wearing a star on their armbands, and reading the Torah?

They where speaking isrealie

A language that you are obviously familiar with. Shalom.

Also removed some anti-semetic posts and those quoting them.

And who said the US Embassy was wrong???? Wow! I think they should appologise to the embassy. But then again knowing who said it. He won't

My wife heard on Ch 3 news tonight that they were claiming that this recent event "might" be a RESULT of the US Embassy warning. I wouldn't be expecting any Thais to be making apologies anytime soon.

[OzMick]

I am SOOOOOOOO Happy to see that dirty f$%&k with his OWN legs blown off. The only shame is that nobody walked up and threw salt on his legs.

While I don't usually carry salt on my person, I usually have a pint or so of salty liquid available, especially after a few Changs. Would that do?

Jayman:

"The Chinese Consulate General has issued a strong warning about travel to Chiang Mai, following a series of attacks on tourists including the recent brutal mugging of a woman at a temple. The warning was posted on the website of the Consulate General after a 36-year-old Chinese female tourist _ Liu Xiao Hong _ was battered about the head with wooden clubs early in the morning of Jan 25."

Must be it is the Chinese embassy fault for putting out this warning also.

Yep, blame everyone else for the problems.

This does not add to the story much but the comments of the readers are hilarious.

From that article..

Immigration police are trying to trace Moradi’s movements, but initial reports indicated he flew into Thailand from Seoul, South Korea on Feb. 8, Pansiri said. He landed at the southern Thai resort town of Phuket, then stayed in a hotel in Chonburi, a couple hours drive southeast of Bangkok, for several nights.

[kujirasan]

It seems Maxwell Smart had a hand in it!

Police who had been called to the area then tried to apprehend Moradi, who hurled a grenade to defend himself. "But somehow it bounced back" and blew off his legs, Pansiri said.

And by the way, the reason why non of this makes any sense is WHY! primarily WHY HERE? It makes no sense.

Why in India or in Georgia? Why not as there are Israeli targets in Bangkok. There will be more of this style of attack in the near future.

This incident came to a close without serious injuries to innocent bystanders. Imagine the results had they not blown up their safe house and carried out their original plans.

This is what is bypassing so many

Some (too many) can't seem to comprehend that what happened was not the intended outcome.

[OzMick]

As this obviously had a political motive, will he be eligible for B7.5 million?

[longstebe]

I've just seen the video on you tube, jeeeez.

I'm also guilty of not taking something's serious until it happens especially in a place where you could have been.

Hope that's the end of it and our BKK members and their families stay safe.

yes it's for real and so is his accent.

I don't understand why guys would assemble 4000Kg of explosives and then go out on an unplanned, ill thought through attack with three weapons the size of hand grenades, there bye blowing the cover on doing something of major significance.

Hard to believe you are still confused about what transpired.

They were not able to carry out the original plan (whatever that was) due to their blowing up their safe house in an untimely manner.

Bad guy 3 stuck explosive devices in a bag and attempted to catch a taxi. Just where do you think he was going before he blew himself up?

[gjoo888]

No matter what type of defense he'll try to present, he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Not much of a stand-up guy in my opinion. One thing we can be sure of though, he'll never set foot in Bangkok again. He does have a good future though...as a door mat.

At least he didn't lose face.

[BudM]

What kind of person that willingly thrown the bombs at the Taxi and the police in front of the school, but luckily the school childre were not present at the time, just think how bad that could have been if the school children were around at the time. I do not believe he will care either if it will hurt or kill the children.

At this point it is highly speculative and actually a bit illogical to assume Iran has anything to do with this. Hezbollah is not Iran and is not even Iran based regardless of what Israel wants people to believe. It is a based in Lebanon and always has been. The only ties to Iran is the accusation that Iran provides financial support as does Syria as well as Muslims in general who provide most of its funding. It is a terrorist group whose main goal is/was ridding Lebanon of Israelis and Israeli influence ... though they seemed to have expanded this to wanting to see Israel wiped off the map. Their purpose is not to serve Iran and Iran's suspected support is due to believing in their extreme Islamic cause and not because Iran pulls their strings. By no means is Hezbollah a political tool of Iran but it does follow the extreme Islamic teachings of the late Ayatollah Khomeini.

Much like entering a movie theater 20 minutes after the show started, you have missed quite a bit in 700+ posts. Iranian passports found at the scene and on the bad guys. Iranian currency found in the safe house. It's all in the thread. Please do try to keep up.

I imagine the plan didn't entail going out in an unplanned attack. Much more likely that the plan entailed going out on a planned and coordinated attack against a specific target.

What their plan clearly didn't include was accidentally detonating explosives in the home, instantly throwing everything into disarray.

Exactly.The usual suspects are trying to confuse the issue.

So, you are saying that the Iranians are justified in carrying out bombing attacks in Bangkok? Tit for tat so to speak.

Yes we know the bombers are Iranian, but that does not mean the Iranian government was involved.

[BudM]

Here is the sad part:

"A search at the rented house turned up an unspecified amount of C-4 explosive and some home-made bombs, Bangkok police chief Pol Lt-General Winai Thongsong said.

In Moradi's backpack, police found clothing; receipts issued to a Yasef Moradi by a hotel in Pattaya; Bt8,500 and US$2,800 in cash; and a large amount of cash in Iranian currency.

Thitima denied the incidents were acts of terrorism, saying: "This is not sabotage or related to the travel advisories issued [after last month's terrorism scare] by many countries. Police now know where the [suspect is].

"Intelligence analysis said [the suspects] were arguing with one another, and the incidents are being treated as normal crimes."

Foreign Ministry spokesman Thanee Thongphakdee said an official conclusion on the incidents would be made soon to determine the specific nature of the crimes. "Don't jump to the conclusion that it was an act of terrorism," he said."

Thai government is still in denial.

Right.............it's not like they have been conected to terrorism in the past..............oh, yeah, well.

[chooka]

The Iranian regime is bummed that the Syrian regime, their very close ally, is threatened with massive internal revolt. They fear they might be next. Insha-Allah!

I wish free iran soon

Its time us muslims are heard. loud and clear!

You have been heard for years 9/11, bali, spain.
