bander Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Personally I think the perpetrator is non-Buddhist. No Buddhist will dare to do such unforgivable act at the shrine. I personally think it was arranged by Thaksin and his camel hurder friends as pay back for revoking his police rank That crossed my mind too.

MrTee Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 heres the video; i'd say he left something and with the blast starting there they got who did it now have to find him; https://www.facebook.com/NuChiko.29/videos/10207342172262871/?fref=nf This could be the start..... I saw this.. If you check the time on the video as he leaves the shrine 18:40: Bomb went off at 18:55.. not in sync with what reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Don't you miss the good old days when terrorists groups would at least claim CREDIT for "successful" attacks? They started getting quite punctual about for awhile, especially when worried that someone else may try to take credit for their actions. In Afghanistan every time someone tripped over a rock the loonie "spokesman" for the Taliban used to call the media and give credit to the Taliban. He was almost as bad as the guy in Baghdad (Comical Ali or more properly - Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf) the one who claimed (amongst other things) that there were no American tanks in Baghdad when in fact they were only a few hundred meters away from where his press conference was being held. The Taliban guy would hear something on the local radio and flash up his sat phone and immediately claim Taliban victory ! Hundreds of infidels killed ! Bases overrun ! (And so on and so on.) PR is a powerful weapon but it must be used carefully lest it backfire upon you. In some cases and some places, the reprisal may be quicker and nastier than expected.

Makes perfect sense to me. The bomber obviously wanted to be well away from the area before the explosion. Less chance of getting caught by it or by the police. By the time it went off he was probably miles away (well however far 10+ minutes by moto taxi would get you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiKT Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 'Arab like man' Oh Please! What does that mean? Did he have a white dish-dash and red and white headscarf with the words 'I love IS' written on it? or was he an olive skinned man with a stubbly beard...like a billion other men from Buenos Aires to Athens to Dubai. I don't know about you but, I among most other people that have ever been further than their own front door, don't need that white headscarf and can distinguish Arab like man from a westerner or Thai even when stripped naked. oh gross, pleaaaaase, this is a family forum and often read at dinner time. The very thought of Arafat (or Suthep) stripped naked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 "Arab-like man" eh? Someone should have told the Gen. The head of Thailand's junta now says a suspect has been identified from CCTV footage. Prayut Chan-ocha said he was believed to be from an anti-government group based in Thailand's north-east, where the anti-coup Red Shirt movement is based, according to AFP.

Oziex1 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I suspect it was Burmese. A Thai could never do such a thing. Talk about beating a dead horse. I vote that the next person who uses this unoriginal post should be banned. Along with farang no understand Thainess or references to the Burmese guys in the clink for the Koh Tao murders.

MiKT Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm a caucasisn American with southern European roots on my father's side. Thais have often said that I look like a "kaek," so I don't put much stock in this description yet. Early leads in an investigation like this are notoriously unreliable. Or, maybe it was the work of Basque separatists-- speculation leads to absurdity. i am caucasian american. all grandparents came from greece. Some thais thought a little bit "allah people", but most guess Roma, for italy. That's fine. Most don't really know what Greece is, and between my New England accent and the "R", they don't pronounce greek or greece very well. I actually find Thais geographic knowledge surprisingly good, or at leased when it comes to European countries. I rarely hear Thais don`t know where this or that European country is, and often respond with "my -family-member- has a farrang from -a-neighbor-country-". The kids in school have fairly good geographic education. When it comes to Greece, they know. They saw the political unrest on the news and they`ve heard about the financial crisis. Many even knows about European regions such as "Scandinavia" and "Great Britain", European currencies and Schengen countries. I`ve even heard some Thai people say they have seen Svalbard on Thai TV. Svalbard is a Norwegian island with just a population of 2500 people, whereas 110 are Thais. How many of you have heard about Svalbard? your right, we have been lucky so far. Now you have goneandunit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if people remember, but in the Boston bombing, this sort of crowdsurfing took place, and there were two guys spotted in an image with back packs, with what looked to be pressure cookers in the back.. Well, everyone was certain it was them, and, as we know now, it turned out to definitely not be them. Just something to think about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Why release a vague statement like you're looking for an individual with the physical characteristics native to a certain part of the world? Why not share the actual picture so the public at large can be on the look-out as well? The pictures are all over the Thai press eg see here. In some of the pictures he's wearing a back pack, in others, presumably after he's leaving the Shrine, it's absent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Image of the suspect released by police. Hard to tell ethnicity - could be anything from these, but that shirt is quite distinctive. Looks like a Korean tourist to me. Definitely not Arab in any way, shape or form. I wss about to say the same thing. My suspicion is that he is a Thai muslim from the south.
