Thai Police Make Arrest Over Bangkok Bombing



BBC: Bangkok bomb: Thai police arrest man over Erawan blast

Police in Bangkok say they have arrested a man in connection with a bomb that killed 20 people in the Thai capital nearly two weeks ago.

The man, a foreigner, was arrested in Nong Jok on the outskirts of Bangkok, a police spokesman said.

Bomb-making materials were found at the apartment along with 10 passports, said the spokesman, Prawut Thavornsiri.

The bomb tore through the crowded Erawan Shrine on 17 August injuring more than 100, mostly tourists.

Police found bomb making materials such as detonators and a metal pipe with lids, Mr Thavornsiri said in a televised statement.

He said the 28-year-old man is not believed to have been the bomber but is suspected of involvement in the attack.
