But first, more than a day after a bombing at a Bangkok shrine killed more than 20 people and injured dozens more, a Thai government official has said it's too early to state whether a suspect in the attack is a foreign national. Footage from Monday shows a man wearing a long yellow T-shirt leaving a backpack in the Erawan shrine. Tim Franks spoke to our correspondent in Bangkok Jonathan Head and asked him are the authorities any closer to knowing what the motive for the attack might have been.
"They've been quite careful not to, Tim, which to be honest is uncharacteristic and one of the problems we've had in previous incidents or crimes in Thailand is different officials saying different things to each other and often different things on different days. There is not a lot of discipline in comments and it can lead to a lot of confusion. This time the government has said from the very start that it will keep its options open, that it simply doesn't have any obvious places to look. They stressed today interestingly that the pattern of the bombing didn't match that of the insurgence in the deep south of Thailand." |
