PM tells hospital blast investigators to avoid interviews

By The Nation

 

 

Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed officers investigating the May 22 bomb blast at the Phramongkutklao Hospital in Bangkok not to give interviews about the case progress, a police source said on Friday.

 

They were told that only Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan or national police chief Chakthip Chaijinda would be allowed to talk to the media, the source said.

 

However, Chakthip yesterday declined to give any comment on the case, saying the investigation team was working on it.

 

The hospital blast probe team recently found a person who may be a key witness in the case. A nurse said she saw a suspect carrying a backpack into the building shortly before the explosion, the source said. 

 

Because of her information, officers were re-checking CCTV footage from cameras around the hospital, such as ATM machines, to find more clues, the source said. 

 

They hoped to get confirmation on the person seen by the nurse, which would allow them to apply for an arrest warrant, the source said. 

 

The hospital blast resulted to more than 20 injuries. The national police chief appointed his deputy, Pol General Srivara Rangsibhramanakul, to head the investigation into the hospital attack. More than 200 investigators are involved in the probe.

Even if there is some CCTV footage it does not identify the person or even with a backpack doesn't necessarily mean this person was a bomber. How can these people even say they can then issue a warrant. Defies belief.

more and more and more attempts to control

Hard to manipulate the masses if they have to much information.

True.  As suspicious as that may be, it could just be a guy carrying a back pack.  It is a lead but nothing else.

From an unrelated article, but it applies here.

 

In 1483, just as Johannes Gutenberg’s new moveable type printing press was spreading across Europe, Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire issued a staunch decree banning the machine from his realm.

 

At the time the Ottoman Empire was the dominant superpower in the world, having conquered most of the Middle East, North Africa, and southeastern Europe.

 

But Bayezid was afraid of the new technology.

 

He and his advisors felt that the printing press would too easily allow information and new ideas to spread across his empire.

And they believed this would threaten their control and offend the religious establishment.

 

So not only did Bayezid ban the printing press, he imposed the death penalty upon anyone caught using one.

The Ottoman Empire remained so closed off to new ideas, in fact, that the only western book to be imported and translated for the next 3 centuries was a medical text on the treatment of syphilis.

 

Needless to say the Ottoman Empire did not remain the world’s dominant superpower for long.
