You are going to get a massive onslaught of comments for this no doubt and likely that Thaksin 'started' it. For the most pat I have given up commenting on threads regarding Islam because the few people who have any idea whatsoever have done also.

Amazes me how they arrest all these highly wanted people from other countries, but yet when it comes to their own or a tourist is in need they are deaf dumb and blind.

True, not by birth it seems.

Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung said one man was being held over possible immigration offences.

"Technically the two men have not committed any crimes under the Thai law, so we could only use the immigration law to keep this one suspect in custody," he said.

The US embassy in Bangkok issued a warning on Friday that Americans should "exercise caution when visiting public areas where large groups of Western tourists gather".

It said they should "keep a low profile in public areas, particularly areas frequented by foreign tourists", without giving further details of the potential threat.

The Thai authorities had said there was no need for a general alert as it would "cause panic and affect our tourism".

I think all these arrests of foreigners, must come from tip offs...plus there's likely a bounty involved maybe.

But yes.....why can't they be so diligent with the locals??

I guess by tip offs u mean other agency's ,if so U R right . Thai police , special branch plus secret service couldn't find a brothel in a desert.

[uptheos]

There are terrorist's / fanatics sitting and biding their time in countries all over the world.

Why shouldn't there be quite a few, in the country that hosts just about every low life.

Are there many brothels in deserts?.

[kkup]

There's a few old men in Pattaya who should be arrested also.

[hawker9000]

Non-uniformed enemy military. Give them their tribunal .........and then shoot them.

[ABCer]

Is it possible they were the 'welcoming committee' for the asylum seeking group of Middle East refugees?

Coordinators and/or organisers? Thailand is such a compassionate place... in need of boosting the actions of its own Southern gentlemen... (?)

[empireboy]

Be nice if Thailand could see what damage these people do in other countries and ERADICATE them from Thailand. They're a scourge and a blight.

I don't think i could either,who would open a brothel in a desert?

[deepcell]

Hezbollah is considered a terrorist group by Americans (Do you agree with americans? No? then you are half way a terrorist). LOL
Well, I remenber some years ago, when I was in a small Indian Restaurant located in Soy nana, Bangkok, and In the wall was a lot of pictures of Hebollah members and it is quite normal in Thailand.

It means that now Thailand considers Hezbollah a terrorist group? Why?

Yes... Many! Worked in the Sahara for 6 years. Plenty of Camels and popular with the locals as it is not considered to be adultery.

Thai website gathering intelligence? Send the link for it to PTP because we all know they can do with all extra intelligence they can get. Severely lacking at the moment. LOL

[canman]

This is the second time that Iranian sponsored foreign nationals have been located in Thailand. The first time Iranians actively taking part in acts of terror against the people and against Thai security forces. A small scale bomb factory was located.

This time, we have Hezboullah members located with a Thai national, one could speculate that mingling in such small groups that the Hezbollah members were providing support in the form of training. Hezbollah is directly funded by the Al Quds forces of Iran, and trained by them.

This leads to the suggestion that Iranian forces and proxy forces are actively supporting and promoting a religious war against Bhuddist Thailand. Would this not be an opportunity for smart Thai political figures to approach both "moderate" Islamic states, and particularly other Buddhist nations within the region and particularly within Asean, to provide training, assistance and smarts to resist. Countries like Indonesia have gone a long way in removing radicals from Java, the national army of the Philippines has had great success in backing some groups into submission - there are many more examples.

It is time for Thailand to communicate that their war is the regions war, and if the war is lost, the region will experience rapid change of which few will appreciate.

[orosee]

Can't find anything in the articles that would indicate any evil plans or illegal activities. Some indication that one of them has a problem with his immigration status? Apart from that, I find that the real financial backers of islamic terrorism continue shopping at Siam Paragon with impunity.

Off topic, but I have been in many deserts and never found a brothel in any.
