Bangkok bomb: Second foreign suspect arrested | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A second foreign suspect has been arrested in connection with the deadly bombing at a Bangkok shrine in August, the Thai prime minister has revealed. | |
The male suspect was arrested in Sa Kaeo province, east of Bangkok on the border with Cambodia, Prayuth Chan-ocha told reporters. | |
"He is a main suspect and a foreigner," he was quoted as saying. | |
A foreign man was arrested in Bangkok last week over the blast at Erawan Shrine which killed 20 people. | |
Bomb-making materials and 10 passports were found at the apartment in Nong Jok on the outskirts of Bangkok, police said. | |
But he may not be the prime suspect - seen on security camera leaving a backpack at the crowded shrine shortly before the bombing on 17 August. |
