Lite Beer Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Bomb blast in Rajdamnoen 'meant to spread fear'The Sunday Nation BANGKOK: -- A home-made C4 bomb was likely to have been used in the attack on a police hoist parked at Rajdamnoen Nok Avenue on Friday night, according to Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) officials.The attack took place near the Police Museum and the Parus Gawan Palace.EOD officials did not find a safety pin so they suspect the assailants used a home-made bomb, a C4-type weighing around 0.5 kg, which had an explosion radius of 20 metres and a destruction radius of five metres.Six glass windows on the second floor of Chitralada Palace, located within the same fence with the Police Museum, shattered.Pol Lt-Colonel Sitthisak Nakamat, deputy superintendent of Dusit Police Station, said initial investigations found that two men wearing crash helmets while riding motorcycles were responsible for the attack.The suspects did not intend to kill or injure anyone but intended to cause public terror, police said.The scene of the bomb attack was about 140 metres from the bunker put up to protect the Makkhawan Rangsan Bridge rally stage of the Students and People's Network for Thailand's Reform. -- The Nation 2014-04-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NongKhaiKid Posted April 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2014 As usual the ' no intent to kill ' comment from the BIB but how can they be so sure without interviewing the suspects and even then it's an iffy statement as most suspects will deny any intent ? Planting bombs, firing grenades etc. are reckless acts and even if the original intent was not to kill or injure things can, and do, go horribly wrong. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rametindallas Posted April 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2014 Let's see if we can make an educated guess as to who is behind this. First, the attack was on a piece of police equipment and National Police Chief Pol Gen Adul Saengsingkaew, is recently perceived to have defected away from PTP. Second, the bomber shows he has no respect for the Royal Household by setting a bomb off so close to the palace. Third, their intimidation tool of choice is a bomb. That's enough for me to point a finger. Either that or someone had their car lifted by that hoist truck and are seeking revenge on it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabas Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Uh-oh. We have reached the C4 stage. C4 and RPGs were used in many of the 2010 terrorist attacks against national infrastructure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well dare I say it , in a Democracy you don't do this to get someone to do something ,in a Democracy normal citizens don't have access to explosives or military ordinance , the police have the powers to arrest ,go and do it , they must ensure the law is up held, this to an outsider is just pure lawlessness, out of control brain dead pricks, that when caught they should be locked in a cell and the key should be throw - in away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoopyDoo Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Well.... just meant to threaten eh? How about... The explosive was left within 120 M of an army bunker. Now that is well within viewing distance of the soldiers. These soldiers would have taken less than a minute to cover than ground to see what those two were up to.... just in time for the bomb to hopefully explode in their faces. No matter what... The planting of bombs anywhere, with whatever intent is no less than an act of terrorism. All acts of terrorism should be punished with life in prison without pardon. As you would expect from most country's legal system and in quite a few cases, the death penalty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animatic Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 So who has C4 at home? Military grade explosives are not out on the street typically, unless stolen. Of course we know the military is fractured also like society, Watermelon soldiers; Green outside, red inside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapout Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I am amazed at the theories put out on TV, for the reasoning or lack thereof for, bombings, shootings, court charges, ,protest targets, etc.The RTP spout their canned ideas for illegal acts and many discount this as biased. Eod are normally tasked with disarming/investigating components of explosive devices, I doubt they are trained nor schooled in the rational of the placement or the reasoning behind the construction of same. It appears many of the news reports are officials or news hounds wanting their name in print for public publicity, This does seem a part of the thinking of political indivual/groups, the military, RTP, etc. and the common result seems to be the majority are completly clueless about the subject which they are addressing.

antimedia Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 initial investigations found that two men wearing crash helmets while riding motorcycles were responsible for the attack. Shouldn't be hard to track them down, how many people wear helmets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that calling the USA a Democracy is a stretch, however it nominally is, and access to explosives or military grade ordinance is not that difficult. Of course it's not like anyone can just go to the corner store and buy the stuff in either country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post klauskunkel Posted April 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2014 The suspects did not intend to kill or injure anyone but intended to cause public terror, police said. Ah huh, so if pedestrians or bystander would have been caught in the blast, it would have been their fault for being in a designated "No-intent-to-kill-or-injure-anyone Zone" without permit! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halion Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 From which rice paddy do the dig up the senior police officers who have the inane ability to make such ridiculous statements based on pure conjecture based on Thai intellect. Not sure which one presents the biggest threat the thugs or the RTP. Furthermore on what basis can they claim that it was C4 which is not that easy to obtain and is traceable without chemical residue testing. Just playing policeman and looking like fools.

Suthep won't come to the station to face chargers so how can they ask him? So as far as YOU are concerned, Suthep personally planted the explosive device, NOBODY else, just Suthep. Nobody is admitting it, the police don't have a clue, but you do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you in Thailand? I have to ask, because you can buy C3, C4 and samtex in Pi, along with opium in kilo bars, 12 year old love slaves, and animal friends for filming. Amazing Thailand.

Tokay Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 How about they just blame it on good old fashioned incompetence. That seems to be the case here, every time. I've never seen so many people miss their targets when shooting guns or throwing grenades. Or hammer screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assumed that he meant Pai, and that "12 year old love slaves" was also meant in humour, rather than as a real claim ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
