BANGKOK:-- Police in Bangkok have arrested a Pakistani man suspected of deliberately starting a fire at a factory in Karachi, which resulted in the death of 259 people.

 

Abdul Rahmen, 46 was arrested at the Royal Garden Home Hotel in the Nana area of Bangkok on Friday, Thai police confirmed.

 

Police said that Thai Interpol located Rahmen following the release of an international arrest warrant by officials in Pakistan.

 

Rahmen is believed to have been part of a gang that was extorting money from factory owners in Karachi.

 

 

 

When one owner refused to pay the gang, Rahmen burnt down the factory resulting in the death of 259 people, while 50 others were injured.

 

Initially police believed the fire, which took place in September 2012, was an industrial accident.

 

However, earlier this year police then named Rahmen as the suspect who started the fire.

 

Following his arrest, Rahmen was taken to Lumpini police station.

is that the fire started the big clean out of brand name garments using child labour etc?

^^ No it started the brand name companies using agents to contract the same garment manufacturers so they can remove any culpability on their part...

They're having good success catching criminals for other countries, not so good on their own.

Rahmen will be eating nothing but ramen for the remainder of his disgusting life ..... with rat meat and cockroach seasoning.

A highly dangerous and vicious individual. He can kiss his a*s goodbye as from now on his life will go to hell.

No loss 

 

Plenty of time for him to get away after all he is still in Thailand and that rich kid car killer is still loose. International Arrest Warrants do they work?

You have to remember the other countries are doing all the leg work and passing the information to the Thai police. For the criminals in Thailand it comes down to the Thai police and whilst they do get a few wanted persons the majority are never found as the ground work to locate them is never performed

Another quality tourist .....one more.

259 innocent people, how you dream up a proper way to, they should kill him the same way Muslims kill Dog's, from what I read they inject them with an agent which causes a long and painful way of dying !!

 

Then wrap him in Pig Skins to cremate him !!

Hats of to our Boys in Brown. Well done, keep it up.

I doubt they cared much about the people burned, it is the business and sweat shop they cared about. I haven't heard but I would like to know the ages of the victims.

His life should be taken slowly from him. I am all for Muslim punishment in this case stone the bugger to death. Let it be at the hands of his victims families.

Are you saying the BIB ground game is lacking. They don't throw many passes either but pass the buck.

Raised from a very early age to hate and kill in Paki. In the schools, it's documented. First time in BKK 10 years ago I walked through the "Arab Quarter" at 3rd Nana and Suk and I knew right away what was going on. Then I stopped at an Internet Cafe (still had them as no smart phones yet) and watched terrorists wiring money back an forth. The lady who worked there (who I still know, she's married in AU) had no idea. this was in 2005. That's the way it is, money is the root of it because they live hand to mouth. Look at the labels on your clothes and towels and you will see Paki on the lowest priced stuff, sign of poverty. 

Umm, I'm not the most PC in the world and you are a 'senior' member but the term 'Paki' is very derogatory and only used nowadays by racists and and dickheads. You obviously mistyped it.

 

"Watched terrorists wire money..." Are you having a laugh? Presuming you had a smartphone, did you think of using it? That money you watched could have paid for thousands to be bombed. Maybe report them? And you knew the woman? Just checked, no it's not April 1st.

 

 BTW, Thailand is renowned for counterfeit goods made in cheap factories up north - allegedly.

That's because there are very few indigenous criminals in Thailand and statistics prove it.

That'll be ramen with dog meat once he's been deported from a Thai prison to Pakistan ..... with a festive foray into cannibalism on religious holidays.

...and what about the other members of the extortion gang? Are they still around ?

They stayed in Pakistan where they are still politicians in the MQM party.

Those people you see doing business in Bangkok who stay in the Arab quarter are mostly in the garments industry, you would do better to talk to people than make these childlike assumptions based on nothing more than their color and your paranoia.
