Waiting till after Thaksin's money case hits the courts maybe?

See which way the crowds lean before deciding to convict,

or ignore the whole thing.

All in all it looked like an amateur hour setup

and an excuse to move out some higher ups.

Military Court Postpones Ruling on Foiled 2006 Car Bomb Plot

The Bangkok Military Court has postponed its ruling on the case of three Army officers charged with orchestrating a car bomb plot to kill former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to August 19th following the inconclusive review of investigation reports.

Three Army officers, namely Lieutenant Tawatchai Klinchana, Colonel Surapol Supradit and Lieutenant-Colonel Manus Sukpraser, were indicted by military prosecutors on charges of engineering a plot to kill others, attempted murder of a state official, and illegal possession of explosives.

The postponement was aimed to give time for the military tribunal to review the backlog of the investigation reports.

Investigators said Lieutenant Tawatchai parked a car carrying C-4 explosives at Bang Plad Intersection on August 24th, 2006 and triggered them when the motorcade of then prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra passed the scene, but they did not go off.

Investigators first resolved to seek indictment of 4 suspects while another soldier, Sergeant Charkrit Jandhra, was turned state witness. Public prosecutors, however, indicted only three of them as evidence against another Army officer, Major-General Pairoj Theerapab, was not sufficient.

The investigation reports are detailed on about 3,000 pages in 13 files. Its contents mainly deal with testimonies by plaintiffs, suspects, eyewitnesses and experts in related fields.
