Two men killed in motorcycle bomb explosion

BANGKOK: -- Two men were killed when a home-made bomb hidden in a motorcycle they were riding on accidentally exploded at a parking lot in Min Buri Saturday night.

One of the victims was identified by police as Boonluen Pinta, 41, a native from Phrae province. Police said that both victims whose bodies were shattered by the force of the explosion wore black T-shirts and combat boots.

Officials from the explosive ordnance disposal unit found one unexploded home-made bomb near the blast site and had it destroyed.

A subsequent search of the victims’ rented house uncovered five more home-made bombs, two motorcycles, six picnic gas canisters and one gallon of unspecified chemicals.

After the explosion, 3-4 men were seen by eyewitnesses leaving the rented house in a van.

Police are yet to determine whether the bombs were meant to stir up political violence or for any other criminal purposes or whether the group was politically connected.

Two men killed in what believed to be accidental explosion of their own bomb

BANGKOK: -- Two men on a motorcycle were torn into pieces by a blast of a homemade bomb in Bangkok's Min Buri district late Saturday night, police said.

One of them was identified as Boonluen Pinta from Prae.

The explosion occurred at the car park of Tohlibun Islamic religious school.

Eyewitnesses told police that the two men were riding a motorcycle to stop there and their motorcycle was followed by a van. When two other men got out of the van walking to the motorcycle, the explosion occurred. The two other men fled the scene in the van, the witnesses said.

Police found another homemade pipe bomb which did not explode.

Police suspected that the two men were carrying two homemade bombs and one of them accidentally exploded.

Spectacular own goal and good enough for them, the damage these devices could have caused is immeasurable, two dead lunatics, zero sympathy!!

"Police are yet to determine whether the bombs were meant to stir up political violence or for any other criminal purposes or whether the group was politically connected."

Whatever it is the outcome, they were making bombs to kill people.

They deserve what they got.

Believe in Karma.

'Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword", that saying certainly worked in this case............

Might I be so callous to remark, "good!"

I believe that the very last thing to go through their minds would have been their butts.

Som nam na, RIP

couldnt happen to a nicer couple of guys, there is no sympathy for anyone that would stoop to making bombs to injure and kill others. It may well be that they are reds seeing it is a red area but it wouldnt matter which side they are on, this is karma at its best.

Could have been going fishing,

Can't say it is "good" but it is better than the alternative, the bombs used on innocent people, or of different political thought.'

Yes karma, som nom nah.

Play with fire you get burnt. Literally in this case.

Karma...........

Seem to remember there was another bomb make who blew himself up in BKK some time back.

After that the bombings stopped.

Seems to be a dangerous occupation.

Lets hope they catch up with the other 4 in the van or Karma catches up with them.

Obviously, they weren't very good at making bombs.....

Anyway, Jatuporn now has 2 positions vacant..

Bloody ripper mate, it's a shame more bomb makers don't meet the same fate.

Bloody amateurs, you reap what you sow.

Bloody ripper mate, it's a shame more bomb makers don't meet the same fate.

And to those who fire grenades, I hope a grenade launcher will fail and the grenade falls at their feet.

It would indeed be poetic justice but unlikely to happen as these rounds are still "inert" when they're fired, they arm themselves at 30 m's to prevent such wishful thinking.. but I do like the way you think

Could have been going fishing,

The only fishing going on here is that undertaken by seajae, robby nz and ChrisY1.................so far

No one else concerned that Southern seperatists might be planning to plant these devices in Bangkok.

The Muslim angle worries me.

There's a few of us who have been saying this privately for a few weeks now, however the only connection I can see here is the incident occurred outside a Muslim school, now if these pair were also Muslim, (as yet to be determined) then seajae, if you're reading this, remember what I've been saying about the eye coming off the ball..

I can see it now - people in the van - remember don't touch the red button until they have parked the motorbike......what this button BOOOOOOOOOM

ah, didnt realize that, good point but as I said, doesnt matter who's side they are on its great karma, fab4, note I said any side(in both my posts) as they are indiscriminate in who they kill. Reds, yellows or muslims fanatics, any bomb makers deserve everything that happens to them as was the case here.

Real heroes. 555

Minburi is a largely Muslim area of Bangkok--but the southern unpleasantness doesn't have much to do with religion & the Muslims throughout the rest of Thailand emphatically are very unsympathetic with the southern cause.

One of the men was from Phrae--a northern province.

Maybe they went to this school ;

Maybe, but nothing to do with self detonation of their bomb. More like a couple of vacancies in the red rabble.
