rooster59 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thai police on high alert over possible IS terror threatBANGKOK:-- Police have said they will be increasing security at major locations throughout Thailand after the US embassy reportedly issued a warning of a possible attack from the so called Islamic State (IS) group.Pol Gen Sriwara Ransibhramanakul yesterday told reporters that he has ordered security to be stepped up at crowded locations such as tourists destinations, shopping malls, airports and transportation hubs. Immigration officers have also been instructed to increase security at all border checkpoints.Pol Gen Sriwara stressed that whilst no specific threat had been made, the police and security officials in Thailand would not be taking any chances and that all threats regardless of severity will be taken seriously by the authorities.Police say that information received from a source at the US embassy warned of a possible plot to attack shopping malls and transportation hubs in Bangkok.The warning that IS may be planning to launch a terrorist attack in Thailand comes just two months after Khaosod English published what it claimed to be a leaked memo which said that 10 IS terrorists had entered Thailand and were planning to carry out attacks targeting western tourists.The memo cited intelligence information from the Russian FSB which said that Syrian terrorists had travelled to Pattaya, Phuket and Bangkok.Source: Daily News -- 2016-02-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dageurreotype Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 So this was the content of the leaked memo to the Governor of Phuket in which he cited 'certain people with ill intent' after having been found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhizBang Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 What? Wait, what? Were we not told recently that Thailand is safe as there is no IS activity here? So this cannot be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltandpepper Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Surely the reason why this cop stopped me this morning, saying I was on the right lane on my motorbike, when it was not true! When he saw I was not agreeing, he just let me go. On high alert yeah..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File this under the report that said "no flooding". My guess is that the wind blew in and shuffled all the reports up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeneeds Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Money is still no object for these killers just look at the Toyota brigade in the photo all in good condition, having the ability to share the money, pay people to look the other way , a sleeping monster just waiting , sometimes these annoucments are about re-enforcing vigilance, and against alarm and panic, be careful in the jungle, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperylobster Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 A lower priority than those old reprobates at the Bridge Club. They are still looking for the Ring Leader, of the Bridge Club Mob. That may take some time, as he must be Burmese. Once that is sorted, I expect a crack down on video game parlors during school hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinisaan Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) I remember times when all bars and restaurants in Pattaya had signs " No fragging Arabs allowed." This isn't a racist comment, just a fact how it once was. These days you could have thousands of terrorists hiding in Chonburi province alone, they got their own bars, look down on us and I'll never forget when they're trying to surround my wife when we were on a holiday in Pattaya with our son. It's clear that they would like to rule the world and it might be worth to think about all the sleepers in certain countries, ready to blow themselves up with a self made bomb, just to kill many innocent people. The south of this country is a great example what's actually going on. Tamil Tigers are also using Thailand to plan their attacks on Sri Lanka. I'm just wondering how much the "intelligence" knows about all these guys? Scary in my eyes. Edited February 20, 2016 by lostinisaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These barefooted monkeys gathered together all the Toyota pickups in reasonable condition that they had and paraded them, with their usual knack for publicity. "WE ARE AN ARMY, LOOK!"
