webfact Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Abhisit says bomb attack was well organizedBANGKOK: -- Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said the bomb attack at his home was well organized.He said that whatever violent incident happened at his home or at other houses of the party members and the party head-office was related and well organized by political groups.They have weapon, he said.He also said that the arrest of four suspects in Bang Na last night with hand grenades and guns were denied by the police that they were involved with the bomb attack at his home.In fact, he said that the police should investigate and find out what they would do with the hand grenades and where. He called on all his party members to take care of themselves and stay alert.A team of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) police inspected Abhisit’s home on Sukhumvit 31 this morning. They found an M 26 hand grenade pin at the scene.EOD police said the attacker hurled the hand grenade across the protective net and the grenade fell on the roof of the room where Abhisit’s father normally stays.But nobody was inside the house last night.Six surveillance cameras around the house and nearby might have captured the attacker. However after the attack, the surveillance cameras were all removed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.The police said they were contacting the BMA to get the tapes to hunt down the attacker.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/154125-imagejpeg-226548-wpcf_728x413.jpg -- Thai PBS 2014-01-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishoak Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) 1 how organised do you have to be to lob a grenade ? raise arm pull pin and throw, not at all really 2 Six surveillance cameras around the house and nearby might have captured the attacker. However after the attack, the surveillance cameras were all removed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. The police said they were contacting the BMA to get the tapes to hunt down the attacker. This most confusing BMA is democrat so if there is evidence it should be releasing it to the police and keeping a copy just to be sure, this makes no sense not to which leads me to wonder if there is more to this than the headline. Its illogical goings on like this which leads to suspicion or doubt when it should be so easy to show clearly if someone was indeed caught on camera. I hate it when this goes on it just leaves everyone accusing with no evidence but a few words, an absent family anyway and a hole in a roof which the caretaker himself could have been ordered to do or a real opposition suspect we just cant say atm bottom line i have no idea who has done it atm but nicking the tapes taking down the cameras with your own side when it could provide an answer is irresponsible at the least and suspect at the worst. Taking down the cameras i had to read that part again just to be sure.... bizarre activity imo very bizarre Edited January 16, 2014 by englishoak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poisonus Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The removal of the cameras can have two possible motives. 1... They were removed on the orders of Abhisit to preserve the actual footage before the police delete critical scenes from the footage. 2... They were removed on the orders of the police so they can delete critical scenes from the footage. Meaning... Who got there first to instruct the BMA to remove the cameras?

The recording isn't held in the camera, so there is no point in anyone removing them. Unless this is just a reporting issue, and it was the tapes that were removed back at the office and the cameras are still where they should be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Not that well organized, no one was home. Sounds a bit sus, why would they take the cameras away? I don't get that bit. Because he is no longer the PM. Possibly they knew no one was at home and that it would just cause damage and instill a little fear ( or propaganda) and not result in death or anyone being injured. It sounds like most of the Thai Visa critics are fans of either the Road Runner or Chuck Norris and assume anything that goes boom should result in a body count.

In my opinion, the (pro-Democrat) BMA probably took them away because they don't trust the (pro-Thaksin) Police or the (pro-Thaksin) DSI. "Oops! I just pressed the delete button.

AleG Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Weapons, arrests not linked to attack on Abhisit home The Nation BANGKOK: -- Police yesterday arrested four people allegedly for unauthorised possession of explosives and firearms, found while their pickup truck was stopped at a checkpoint.

I don't think we should even bother to ask what forensic study they made to reach that conclussion. Odds are that the case of this 4 is going to be archived in the same drawer as the case of the Red Shirt bomb maker that was receiving money from a PTP MP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theslime Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 No doubt he organised it himself to get some attention how convenient he was away with his family. Did you organise this suggestion all by yourself ,or did some school kids help you? There will be massive demo,s in Bangkok, our family home has been attacked before, I think it would be wise to go some place else, nice and safe, so I dont have to worry about my extended family being attacked. Sounds reasonable to me and smart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mackie Posted January 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2014 Its hard to accept the truth..even when it stares you in the face. For years you have fought it. Set yourself free from the lies you peddle. Not winning an argument for 3 years...I admire your tenacity but not your beliefs Truth certainly hurts. It's simply astonishing that some of you on this forum always try to blame any bomb attack on Democrats or any anyone else who opposes the current government as a propaganda stunt without actually providing any shred of evidence for your ridiculous conclusions. If you paid more attention you would surely realize that the number of protesters dropped since 'someone' started committing acts of violence, Drive by shootings, occasional firebomb or hand grenade in the back yard, threats, etc...mainly against people who support anti-government protest in one way or another. It is obvious that people got intimidated and scared by those acts of violence so they stayed at home. So I would really like to hear from red supporters why on earth would Democrats or yellows as you call all people who oppose this joke of a government bomb themselves or shoot at themselves when it is crystal clear that violence is not benefiting them. The more violence, the less people on the streets. Enlighten us, please. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
