Prawit says the military knows who are behind Samui car bombing



BANGKOK: -- Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan said today that security authorities now know who are behind the car bomb attack at Central Festival Samui shopping plaza.

Speaking at the press conference to report the six-month performance of the government, Gen Prawit who is in charge of security affairs said investigation has advanced with progress and discovered that the bombing linked from the North to the South.

He didn’t elaborate but assured that all individuals involved in this bombing plot have been known, adding security personnel were closing in on them.

Earlier this morning Royal Thai Police Command deputy commissioner Pol Gen Chakthip Chaichinda reiterated that investigation in the Samui car bombing has been 80% completed as more than 20 witnesses have been questioned.

He stressed that political motive is the strongest probability, saying bombers themselves could never come out with such complicated plot.

He said all present and resigned security guards of Central Festival Samui were freed after questioning but they were required to report the police upon call.

He said the bombing was a blatant challenge to the state.

He also said the police have information that old time politicians were involved, adding if evidence implicated the, they would be surely arrested.

He insisted that earlier speculation that southern insurgency was a strong motive has been ruled out, saying they were merely hired to plant the bomb.

I'm waiting for the standard: "We have the Burmese in custody now."

[NongKhaiKid]

Security personnel are closing in on those responsible.

Why not just go and get them unless this is a subtle hint that their whereabouts are unknown ? Next step will be to summons them for interview.

Of course it could just be all BS but keep talking to make it sound good.

[uty6543]

We all know which group gave the orders to plant this bomb just waiting for them to be arrested.

I'd place my money on BS in the last race NKK

[Thailand]

Wouldn't it be more sensible to arrest the "known" perps rather than warn them of pending arrest?

[Rykbanlor]

What in the name of sweet zombie jesus does THAT mean?

[phycokiller]

very likely that he does know who is behind it, also very likely there will be no arrest altho he doesnt mention that

I'll make it simple for you.

The bombing was ordered and paid by red leaders in the North that employed people from the South to carry on the attack.

Simple enough for you?

[zaphod reborn]

If you have established PC, get a warrant and arrest them. If you don't have sufficient evidence, <deleted> and get back to work.

Surely an investigation is complete or incomplete.... how can you know it's 80% complete?.... unless of course you know the outcome before you start...

[brucec64]

"Pol Gen Chakthip Chaichinda reiterated that investigation in the Samui car bombing has been 80% completed"

Unfortunately, the 20% of the investigation remaining is the part of the investigation where they actually catch the guys who did this.

So you're on the favourite with the odds shortening every time an official opens his mouth.

Why not buy them plane tickets as well so they can casually leave the country. It gives them time to update their passports as well.

The RTP are very good at estimating the 'completeness' of an enquiry. The same % figures were published in the Koh Tao murder investigation, after the Burmese men were arrested. Maybe they also knew the outcome of the investigation beforehand on that occasion!!??

their whereabouts could well be known but they could also be to big to touch, have to arrange a believable scapegoat first

What's it like having the inside track on all things junta?

[Squeegee]

Ministry Of Yak strikes again.

[Local Drunk]

I'm sorry but that crap about 80% finished is nothing but hot air without some previous statistics directly related to the case to back it up. God I hate to be this brutal... but Thai officials don't seem to be able to do much more than shoot off their mouths about anything regarding anything.

[ross163103]

I guess the next news story we'll hear will be about about the bombers mysteriously making their way to another country...like the Ufun people and others. Amazing Thailand!

[Orac]

I think the cracks are starting to show and it won't be long before people realise they have been well and truly fooled by the what is going on and how far the wool has been pulled over their eyes.

This is the biggest clue yet that Prawit has actually been possessed by Chalerm and it will soon be revealed that the good general is none other than Thaksin in disguise who is using article 44 to push through a new constitution giving himself absolute power for eternity.

Here we go...again...more unfounded wild accusations with no evidence...no REAL evidence.

"...bombing linked from the North to the South..."

So someone in Thailand did it. Way to narrow it down guys.

[Strangebrew]

I'll break it down for those who don't understand the sleuthing skills of the RTP and Thai Military The north South thing simply means the Perps are either in the north or south part of Thailand and there 100% sure there Thai. and are either red shirt or yellow shirt supporters also they will be found as soon as we can make up some proof. Mainly cause those in charge Tied one on last night and had way to much YaBa so head still clearing. One thing for sure they know it wasn't Martains, then again. OK got it know?

[canuckamuck]

Yes of course all bombers are known to be incredible dumb. How could bombers possibly come up with the idea to put a bomb in a truck, park it somewhere, and then set it off.

Clearly the work of a criminal genius.

It's really a close race between you & the junta propaganda team as to who speaks more BS.

[greenchair]

I think they have going through old TV posts from Koh Tao.

Investigation 80% complete.

'Yep, that's a good one '

They could not figure something so complicated by themselves.

'There's a goody '

An outsider planned it for revenge.

'Use that quote twice '

We are about to make an arrest.

'Really really '

The video footage has been destroyed.

'Now, we blame anyone we want'

It means that anti-junta supporters in the North are financing the terrorist activities by paying Southern terrorists to carry out the bombing.

Wasn't that hard to figure out, surely!!
