(VOVworld) - At least 10 people may have taken part in the Erawan shrine bombing, but the attack is unlikely to be linked to international terrorist groups.
Thai police say suspect in Bangkok bombing arrested |
Royal Thai Police Commissioner Gen. Somyot Poompanmoung said that he believes "several teams" were involved in the preparation and execution of the attack, which killed at least 20 people and wounded more than 120.
Prawut initially said the suspect arrested Saturday was a Turkish national. Investigation of Turkish tourists comes despite the fact the government has played down the idea the Erawan shrine blast, which killed 20 people and injured 130, could be linked to Uighur or Turkish extremist groups retaliating against Thailand's deportation of more than 100 ethnic Uighurs to China in July.
