BANGKOK — A group of Chinese nationals who attempted to rob a gun store in Chinatown on Friday had no known links to any terror groups, the commander of Bangkok police said Monday.

Instead the botched robbery, which left one of the assailants dead and two others injured, was an attempt to acquire firearms for resale on the Chinese black market, said deputy police spokesman Songpol Wattanachai.

Of course not. It was a walk in the park on a sunny day. Happy Prozac Day everyone!

"Fridays bizarre attack, in which three of four Chinese men were shot trying to hold up a gun store with airguns and knives, brought to mind the August bombing of the Erawan shrine,"

Not really, no, it didn't.

Not terrorism ,just plain stupidity,BB guns Vs Real guns.

Terrorists usually bring their own firepower to the scene. And don't typically run around with BB guns!

Terrorism just doesnt apply to Islam.those guns were bought to terrorise people.is that not terrorism?

The Hell's Angels Thailand were banned years ago by Thaksin.They were disbanded,because they were considered to be a terrorist organization.

In the UK,the Kent chapter of the Angels do a yearly European run from Dover to Valencia.Along the way they collect donations for breast cancer and other charities.The money is distributed to the relative Charities But these old men,some in their 70's are allowed no local radio air time or advertising because they are considered a terrorist organization. Shame on the UK.
