webfact Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Phuket bombing suspect tied to southern insurgency, police say By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter - Security officers on Friday inspect the scene of bomb attack on Phuket, where an unexploded firebomb was found two days earlier. BANGKOK — Police announced Tuesday they are seeking a man believed to have planted an unexploded firebomb in Phuket province prior to the spree of bomb attacks that rocked southern Thailand. Although deputy police chief Sriwarah Rangsipramkul did not name the suspect, he said the bomber had a history of involvement in separatist attacks in the Deep South, the first admission by the authorities that the decade-long insurgency could be linked to the recent bombing spree.

BigBadGeordie Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Why oh why can't these police officers just keep their mouths shut and get on with the job, instead of revealing every little bit of information on an almost daily basis. I know, I know, it is often more important to be seen to be doing the job, than actually doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taichiplanet Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 they didn't want to scare the tourists away by saying 'terrorist'. Instead blamed it on political motives trying to make out that it wouldn't be a recurring thing, which a terrorist act implies. But yeah, was pretty stupid that within miuntes of the explosions they were saying it was political while not having any evidence at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickmouse1 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Another premature post mortem by Police.It is as political as u can get.I do not recall insurgents in the south using firebombs before.....when will Thai Police stop making statements and drawing conclusions before any forensic results? ?

More wishful thinking on the part of the police and the fanboys on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
