BANGKOK: -- The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) on Tuesday held a meeting to discuss Monday’s bombing at Phramongkutklao Hospital which caused at least 25 injuries.

 

The meeting was chaired by the Prime Minister and NCPO head General Prayut Chan-o-cha and was held before the weekly Cabinet meeting.

 

Prayut, looking stressed, refused to speak about the bombing before he attended the meeting.

 

Asked whether his deputy and the Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan had taken leave on Tuesday, following rumors on him being sick, Prayut replied: “So what? Can’t he take a leave?”

 

The Army chief and NCPO secretary General Chalermchai Sittisart was present to provide an update on the situation following the bombing and on intelligence measures in place while the police chief General Chaktip Chaijinda will provide an update the progress of the investigation.

I suspect a "committee" and several "sub-committees" will required.

Give them a break, these are global problems

I suspect a "committee" and several "sub-committees" will required.

And "election" and "delayed" will be tossed around.

I saw a guy in a red shirt on CCTV footage it must be a red shirt plot to make the junta look bad. Sorry I forgot they don't need any help doing that.

Looks like the good PM's Achilles heel has been located.

In this case they are internal

The junta, being the junta, probably just though it would be a small blast that didn't actually harm anyone.  But to carry off such an attack would require someone with a real military background... which no one in the junta actually has.

Yes, it seems that way, perhaps those lined up waiting to get to the trough are getting impatient.
