Police escort Erawan Shrine bombing suspects Bilal Mohammed, above, and Mieraili Yusufu to the Military Court yesterday to seek permission for their fourth round of 12-day detention.

BANGKOK: -- POLICE have almost completed their investigation into the Erawan shrine bomb attack and may wrap up their enquiries next week, National Police Chief Pol General Jakthip Chaichinda said yesterday.

Jakthip said he would meet with Metropolitan Police chief Pol Lt-General Sriwara Rangsiprammanakul next week to decide if the case against Bilal Mohammed and Mieraili Yusufu could be wrapped up. Police believed they had enough evidence to incriminate the two men, Jakthip said.

Meanwhile, investigators were hunting for the remaining suspects, including red-shirt fugitive Odd Payungwong.

Jakthip said police would not summon other red-shirt guards for questioning but they had not ruled out political motives in the attack.

Police are hunting for Zubair Abdullah, the "suspect in the blue shirt" whose image was captured by security cameras at the Sathorn pier after the initial bomb attack. Jakthip said he had resorted to a special search system to track down the suspect.

Police would also issue more arrest warrants soon, he added.

Jakthip vowed to fairly distribute Bt10 million in rewards for anyone with information leading to the arrest of suspects in the case. Police are also checking the route of a huge amount of money they believe is being transferred into Thailand from foreign countries.

Meanwhile, two other suspects, Mohammed and Yusufu, were yesterday taken to the Military Court to seek the court's permission for their fourth detention round from October 8-19.

Police said they had yet to complete the investigation and the court granted them permission to extend the detention. The suspects were taken back to Nakhon Chaisri's temporary remand facility.

Yesterday was 90% done, today "real close". Make note: real close is less than 10%. On second thought, throw that away. Consistency and reality not applicable. Tomorrow: "we're really close now". Day after "really really close now, lots closer than yesterday" etc etc

Boys you had enough media dont you think

It seems your shakey to charge him. This is really quite strnage to say the least

Get on with it... Its a no brainer

And here i was already under the impression that it was already wrapped up. After all, the reward money has already been paid and of course Somyot made it a point to state case closed before his retirement.

On a side note. It sure is nice to not have to hear his stupid comments on a daily basis anymore.

In plain English, RTP will reward themselves when they claim the case is solved again, and the money will come from a foreign source, linked to banks in Dubai and Hong Kong. The Erawan bombing has done nothing but further Thaksin's control over the RTP.

This is sounding just like a previous case not so long ago, by the way just what did happen to the two Laos guys ?who also "confessed ", well the Reward money has been paid so is this case closed or will we be discussing this for the next few weeks ??
