Defense attorney Schoochart Kanpai speaks to reporters outside the court Tuesday in Bangkok on the opening day of a trial against two men accused of bombing the Erawan Shrine in August 2015.

 

BANGKOK — A police investigator told a military court Tuesday how police tracked down the two Uighur men accused of staging a bomb attack that killed 20 people last year.

 

Lt. Col. Somkiat Ploytubtim took the stand as the first witness to give testimony in the case against the two defendants which opened today – more than a year after Thailand’s worst terror attack – due to long delays in finding an interpreter.

Recounts ?? 

I bet he cannot remember what he ate for Breakfast.

Two out of an originally alleged 17 is not too bad?    If these two really were involved, we can all feel much safer now. Assuming of course that the other 15 are out of the country and don't come back, with, as the P.M. delicately puts it, "ill intentions".

Have you ever seen the pictures of the other 15 on big "wanted posters"?? They don't even need posters these days, plenty of huge tv-screen along the roads to show their faces. 

 

I only remember that person who told the police where the bomber lived, and that he didn't get the reward.
