Culprits of explosion on Rama 9 Rd. identified; police say blast unrelated to politics

BANGKOK, 17 June 2014 (NNT) – The police asserted on Monday they have identified the persons suspected of damaging 2 cars on Rama 9 Rd. in Bangkok with a grenade, and affirmed that the motive was personal and unrelated to politics.

Police Colonel Kitti Yuktanon, chief of Makkasan Police Station, said investigators were working to bring in the suspects for questioning. He revealed further that the incident likely had to do with a conflict between young gangsters in the area.

The suspects were identified based on witness accounts and CCTV camera footage. The owners of the 2 explosion-struck vehicles have also been questioned, and significant information was acquired through the two.

Police are tracking down a group of teenagers believed to be the culprits behind the blasts. They are also believed to still be hiding in Bangkok. Arrest warrants will be issued once all evidence and witnesses have been processed.

Police here are actually pretty efficient when they have the army commanding them. Hope this continues.

Immediately after the incident the BIB made a very definitive statement that it was politically motivated instead of the usual multiple choice potential reasons and now ...?

Another instance of foot in mouth disease by the BIB or a more complicated reason for the about face ?

Nice to know if it gets personal to expect a grenade or two.

Gas! Gas! Quick boys! An ecstacy of fumbling... aye, my lad.. you had nice legs before the scooter accident. Now off with ye. Go beg on the Bangkok bridges afar, plenty of farang to pay for ye new boots...

No they didn't, they said it was unlikely to be politically motivated.

Go back and check if you don't believe me.

The first story posted at 19.27 on the 14th said, " initally the police suspected it was the work of politically motivated, ill-intentioned people intending to incite disorder in the country " and the story ended there.

This may have been changed since butIi haven't seen it.

Initially suspected... is that a very definitive statement like you claimed.

The rest was very definitive and never amended until now. Better not to speculate until more evidence is at hand but it's not the Thai way.

I agree but really, should you announce that you know who they are? Giving them a chance to flee knowing that they are suspects. I'm not in law enforcement but I think I would try another ploy.

Yes - you'd be surprised at how easy they are to get here.

A Thai friend in Surin, not politically connected or a crook, as several he keeps at home in case of intruders. The mentality and intelligence is worrying because he ain't on his own.

Do try and remember that we are living under a military junta and that the news we are being fed is stage managed and cannot be contested.

Yes we live under a junta, it beats living under a shin dictatorship. I do agree however that something needs to be done about the freedom of the press.

It is not like the Shins did not control the news or replace civil servants if they came out with bad news about the rice scam. It has now been proven they were right and the Shins lying.

This is similar, but a bit worse. I hope it changes soon though it does do wonders for redshirts their blood pressure. If it was low that is they can't vent like they could before.

Apart from jumping too quickly with a statement of blame the BIB may have made a major mistake in mentioning ' political motivation, ill-intentioned people trying to incite unrest ' etc as in some quarters any suggestion of opposition to the current situation would not be welcomed.

No doubt the BIB were ' invited ' to review their initial suspicions and comments and a teenage gang fight sounds much better in the current context.
