Police check on money sent from Turkey

BANGKOK: -- Police are checking reports that money was transferred from Turkey to Thailand for the recent bombs in Bangkok.

They also expect to obtain an arrest warrant today for a tenth suspect in connection with the blast at the Erawan Shrine and another at Sathorn Pier in mid-August.

"But we can't disclose details at the moment," Pol Lt General Prawut Thavornsiri, assistant National Police chief and police spokesman, said yesterday.

One of two suspects already in detention, Yusufu Meiraili, will be handed over to police today after spending the past week in military custody. Meanwhile, the other suspect, Adem Karadag, has been sent to Min Buri Prison.

Two bomb blasts rocked the capital last month. The one at the famous Erawan Shrine on August 17 killed 20 people and wounded more than 100. The other near Sathorn Pier the following day did not cause any casualties.

Authorities have been investigating these incidents seriously in a bid to nail down the perpetrators.

In the wake of the bomb attacks, several police officers including Min Buri Police Station's superintendent were transferred to inactive posts.

Yesterday, Pol Colonel Wattana Yeejeen, acting superintendent of Min Buri Police Station, led a joint police and military team in inspecting apartments in the Nimitmai area but came across nothing out of the ordinary.

"During the operation, we also advised locals to watch out for rooms that are rented but unoccupied," he said.

Police have found bomb-making materiel in rented rooms in Min Buri district.

Of all the people wanted in connection with the Bangkok bomb attacks, one is a Thai woman named Wanna Suansan.

While she had communicated via social media that she intended to surrender, Prawut said she had not yet officially contacted Thai authorities.

"If she needs help with an air ticket, we can provide it for her. We are waiting for her to come forward," he said.

Wanna may be in Turkey and was likely to need help with travel expenses, he said.

It would be nice to hear the PM stand up and say, in reference to the Thai woman involved; I was wrong on Kao Tao, I guess Thai people can do despicable things.

You have to acknowledged your mistakes if you're ever going to learn from them...

No Thai official is going to admit mistakes unless they are somebody else's.

The circus continues.

"Authorities have been investigating these incidents seriously in a bid to nail down the perpetrators."

I would like to hear that they had been able to conduct dna or fingerprint testing on bomb remnants from erawan or saphan taksin, rather than ruling these two Uighur militants out as the bombers, because their dna didn't match a 20-baht bill held by a taxi driver, or the dna traces in his taxi cab. The keystone cops make CSI look like a non-fictional police investigation drama.

Yes I completely agree that it shows true character to acknowledge and take responsibility for ones mistakes.

Do you think Trump would ever apologize????

Just sayin.

"If she needs help with an air ticket, we can provide it for her."

And also provide her a place to stay with free interrogations, torture and street vendor translators.

Why is she hesitating?

This should have been the position of the police from the Git Go instead of throwing around fantasy theories and passing out 3 million baht rewards to themselves. "But we can't disclose details at the moment," Pol Lt General Prawut Thavornsiri, assistant National Police chief and police spokesman, said yesterday.

Well, we can't ask the Turkish authorities to arrest her or husband and extrdite them because we not need help and we don't want another Embassy to be wrecked, we just say nicely you come home please and Thai airways will donate ticket for you, if you like bring husband as well we can give you 2 tickets.

We already transfered prison boss from Min Buri, so don't worry you will have Adem and Yussuf to talk to because they can't get away now.

Dont forget to bring DNA with you.

Free thai airways tickets & a nice room with a view in jail

What is despicable about renting a room for your husband's mates?
