Scamper Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) " Local police have offered no other clue to the source of the bombs used in the attacks. " Perhaps they should ask Surapong. He has a cornucopia of ideas. " Experts say it is not an easy explosive to use and only well-trained people can throw it safely as it goes off in four seconds after its pin is released. "Unless the thrower is well trained, the bomb could explode in the air and hurt him," an official said. " What an incredibly strange quote. It implies greater concern over the welfare of the attacker. Edited January 21, 2014 by Scamper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshine51 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) These granades cost $5 apiece wholesale and have been sold worlwide by the milliom. I imagine anyone with a mind to do it could buy a sack of them in Cambodia. Actually one can buy em by the box in Kampooch. Maypop's cost about 2 dollars each, willpop's cost around 5-8 dollars each. Common as dog shit there and Hun Sen's favourite anti-political opponent weapon. A Wiki link appears below... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGD-5 NB...edit to add wiki link.

Russian Military grenades being reported as ping pongs Wouldn't be the first time the local media is confused, especially The Nation.
