BANGKOK — Police on Tuesday extended warnings of car bomb plots to upper southern provinces, a day after it emerged that armed militants were planning to strike at several targets in Bangkok’s southwestern suburb, including Suvarnabhumi Airport.

 

Police also released photos and details of two vehicles reportedly being weaponized for such attacks. The operation is allegedly being plotted by the same insurgent group based in the far south, who carried out a series of bomb and arson attacks across seven southern provinces in August, according to a police commander of the restive region.

Quote

“We’ve been trying to find it for a month now,” Ronnasilp said. “But in the end we didn’t find it. So the car won’t be used [as a transport] by the militants again. The next time it’s on the street, it will be a car bomb.”

 

Yep, that sounds conclusive...

[Reigntax]

Sounds like just someones fantasy. Here are the 2 cars, they are being fitted out as bombs but we have no idea where they are.

 

The bombers may even get really smart and totally baffle the RTP by changing the number plates.

[tifino]

2 car bombs:

 

• a Proton Saga

 

• any Chinese SUV

[Sphere]

Meanwhile, at the workshop....

Don't think for a moment that the Mothers Day blasts were 'organised' by Southern Militants. Rather, an offshoot likely contracted to make it appear a BRN or Southern Militant op. Previous Samui mall and Erawan blasts also look extremely suspect. Rank and file 'red tomato' police always go for a simple deflecting patsy.
 

Now, with a long dreaded transition looming as well as a big money confiscation looming, someone has at least 35.7 billion reasons and a last chance opportunity to pull out all the stops
 

Recommend all look out for signs of a prominent desert desperado's family & relatives  jetting off on sudden overseas shopping trips again... Meanwhile, would also recommend avoiding high traffic areas and popular tourist venues.

The first car looks like a Honda civic sedan from 2003-5
The second SUV is a Mitsubishi Triton from 2006-8

A Honda Accord and Mitsubishi Triton. That narrows it down and shouldn't make it too hard for the police to find. It is advised for Burmese and Uyghuran males not to be seen driving these types of vehicles over the next few weeks as it could be bad for their future health.

Those number plates are real

1563 - Honda Accord

3597 - Mitsubishi Triton

Who cares, just think a little, how the hell would the RTP know what cars are being used, if the did, they'd know where they are, and who the "bombers" are... So, my guess is, they have no idea what cars are being used, or who  the "bombers" are. Like many things here, fake.

Terrorist cell,some unknown location, it's going to be an all nighter lads,

pickup,lets get started.

The whole story about this possible event seems silly to me. These cars models make it even more ridiculous. And although BKK would be a great target for some international terrorist group I just don't think it would be a needed target for these folks to make a larger statement about their problems in the south. The south is about land and rights for them. Islam may have some role in that too but its more about their 'homeland'. Well that's how I see.

Recommend you see a doctor about your obsession.

 

Even the Junta is finally acknowledging the reality.

[little mary sunshine]

Just GREAT!!  So now, of course, they wil use

different vehicles! 

[sahibji]

it is a serious situation compounded by the fact that the attacks could come in any form and at any time. these best that can be done is vigilance and hard work.

perhaps it is best to leave religion out of the equation until some data indicates otherwise.

[AlQaholic]

This cell has obviously received training in the middle east.

[Sphere]

At least, we can be sure it's not going to be a suicide bomber.

 

No one would want to be seen dead in those clunkers.

Or changing cars?

 

[Oldgumshoe]

It seems to me that one of the biggest problems is the authorities in this country continue to lead with their chins, and signal their shots, sure fired way to loose the fight.

Most other intelligence agencies around the world don't signal their punches for the sake of publicity, they just do the job and then release details when the arrests are made. Pretty bloody hopeless this lot me thinks.

[farcanell]

??? and just like that, the RTP go from the ridiculous to the sublime.... thank goodness they are there (occasionally???) to protect us from the evils that would otherwise befall (on) us.... like a half ton car (bomb)

or maybe swap the Toyota for a Lexus, and Honda for the Rover

[SOTIRIOS]

...are they serious....???

 

...is there some unknown reason why they would use only those 2 types....???

 

...confusing....
