The way he dump the backpack which looks a little heavy and just leave 10 sec. later seems a strange to me even for a ting tong actor named Sunny IMHO,just hope they will find the killer who did this.
My thought's go to all the people who got enjuried or killed by this bastard.
Stay safe out there and I will return in december,these pric.s must not win no matter what.

:cheers: :cheers:

That second bombing at Thaksin bridge hasn't yet - as far as I can see - been reported on BBC news here in the UK, where it's now 5.30 am Wednesday your time.
Thankfully of course no-one hurt by it, and maybe just a stupid copycat. All the same I could understand if Thailand wants to try to keep it quiet.

I take back my earlier post. After seeing the video, it appears quite obvious that this guy is the bomber. Very worrying that he doesn't appear to be Thai.

[Mod Edit]: Your headline was finger pointing at a particular group, but the article's headline was quoting one of several theories. Do not try to make things worse by over dramatising a headline that meets your own agenda. Facts please.

I see security has been stepped up at Market Village today - all vehicles are being checked for bombs.

Lol, are you kidding? I don't have an agenda, I didn't do the video. It was interesting, and he did have photos with burns on the dude's arms. :banghead:

It's only appearance though, it could easily be a Thai in a wig and wearing a pair of thick rimmed glasses. I think it possible that others in that video could be involved as well, it's a bit odd that he heads straight for an occupied seat that a young Thai looking man vacates for him.

Something reported found near Nana on Sukhumvit. Developing story as of the past hour.

Yes, I have been thinking all along that his appearance looks like a disguise. Those glasses are sure goofy looking for a young bloke to be wearing. :?

Where is our thread of a few years ago about the Iranian who blew his legs off near Sukhumvit, another captured in Malaysia, and a woman who escaped back to Iran. They were all bomb makers weren't they? I don't know if they ever figured out who they were making bombs for, or what they were going to do with the ones stored in their rental house here?

Could be a relationship between then and now, and a score to settle for their previous capture?....just another "maybe". Pete

Agree. It looks to me like they're trying to disguise themselves as a foreigner. Its like they want us to believe its a non-thai. Spooky
