Warrants out for four more suspects in Bhumjaithai bombing

BANGKOK, June 25 (TNA) - Thailand's Criminal Court on Friday issued arrest warrants for four more suspects alleged to be involved in the bombing near Bhumjaithai Party headquarters in Bangkok and still on the run, according to a senior police officer.

Deputy Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Pol Maj-Gen Sumet Ruangsawat said the four were Mrs Oor (unknown surname) who is allegedly a hirer, Mr Uan (unknown surname) who allegedly assembled the bomb, Mr Korbchai Boonkrob and Mr Samran (unknown surname).

All four were charged with jointly making explosives, possessing a bomb and carrying a bomb to a public place without reasonable reason and together causing a bombing incident which caused damage, he said.

Police earlier on Friday arrested two people alleged to be behind Tuesday's bombing near the head office of the main coalition partner in the six-party government of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

The two men, identified as Kampon Kamkong and Dejpon Bhudjong, were apprehended in the eastern provinces of Chantaburi and Chachengsao respectively.

The investigators later took the two to the crime scene for a re-enactment.

They also confessed that they had made a similar bomb and prepared to attack another target, waiting for instruction from the hirer. They later left the second bomb in Soi Ramintra 81 and escaped separately.

Earlier Mr Anek Singkhuntod who was seriously injured in the rambutan pushcart explosion at the Bhumjaithai Party head office admitted that Mr Kampon hired him to leave the pushcart near the party office.

Mr Kampon and Mr Dejpon did not give any information about the hirer and affirmed that they had not received any money for the mission. He said Mrs Oor whom they knew during joining the protest led by the anti-government 'Red Shirt' United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) called them and encourage them to do the job.

The duo also claimed that the alleged double standards practiced by the government was the motive driving them to carry out the attack. (TNA)
