webfact Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Three held for plotting attacks during 'Bike for Dad'The NationBANGKOK: -- Three men, including a former Border Patrol policeman, have been arrested in connection with an alleged plot targeting government figures during a big national event next month, the national police chief said Wednesday.Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda said police intelligence had learned that the trio may have been plotting to create unrest and allegedly planning an attack during the "Bike for Dad" event on December 11.The suspects were identified as Pol Sgt-Major Prathin Chanket, who was formerly with the Border Patrol Police, Pissanu Phromsorn and Nattaphol Nawanlay. They were initially accused of violating Article 112 of the Penal Code involving lese majeste and the Computer Crime Act.Chakthip said yesterday that police had monitored the suspects' activities and movements for a while before their arrests were made."This group was targeting Bangkok and intelligence reports show they were aiming at important persons in the government. It could have been sabotage with the use of explosives," the police chief said."But we still don't know if this group has any political connections," he said, adding that police investigators have not ruled out political motivation.Chakthip said police have evidence against the suspects, including records of their communication through social-media applications."The military court approved the arrest warrants because police could prove that they were planning to carry out an attack in Bangkok," the police chief said.Police are checking to see if those suspects had anything to do with bomb attacks in Bangkok in the past, Chakthip said."Police believe this movement involves more than three people and they have a mastermind," he added.Before his arrest, former policeman Prathin worked as a security guard at the Bank of Thailand's Khon Kaen office. He was arrested at his home in the Northeast province and later brought to Bangkok for questioning.

Wilsonandson Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Police are checking to see if those suspects had anything to do with bomb attacks in Bangkok in the past. Which bomb blasts? The Earwin shrine bomb or the Siam bts station? This is very worrying if they are connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Guess we will never know the truth of this unprecedented attack plots now that the case will be trialed by the military court.

What I see is that the RTA is arresting police officers while the RTP is arresting military officers. Something is brewing. Interesting point Eric. The police turned up in force at one of our local temple's LK do. Their had been a few local police and police volunteers, all good friendly guys, around all evening. Just after 10 pm about 15 police, all in their nice black jump suits and commando boots turned up with a very smartly uniformed senior officer. Keeping them company were about half a dozen soldiers. They walked all around and the officer spoke to several people. Some of the police smiled to my young wheel chair bound son who likes to "salute" them - but the soldiers and more senior police were poker faced, almost grim and there was an atmosphere. Didn't see much interaction between them - just the senior police officer and senior soldier. Add the other things seemingly designed to rock the boat at the moment and yep, sadly, you are probably right, something is brewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) This could be anything, from creating false rumors which the Thais excel in, to deflection of another situation brewing on a another front to divert attention from is REALLY GOING ON.. who knows? I don't think that even the PM and the top brass are privy to what is really going on in this country until it's either too late or it will be killed and buried... after living in this country for so many years I have learned that nothing is what it seems to be on the surface... lots of shady stuff going on all the time that the public is mostly oblivious to it....
