Two more bombs were defused at Bangkok shrine
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. August 17, 2015, 5:13 PM (IDT)
Two more bombs were de-activated after a large bomb packed on a motorcycle outside killed at least 15 people and injured 80 others at a crowded Hindu shrine, popular with tourists, in central Bangkok Monday.The Erawan shrine is near a busy intersection and business and shopping center. There was no claim of responsibility. Thailand has until now known only low-scale terrorism – nothing on this scale, even from the Muslim separatists in the south. Police and army officers have sealed off the bomb scene.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
