Bag of excrement left at Army Club, near Privy Council head's residence

BANGKOK, Oct 16 -- An unidentified person left a bag of wastepaper, excrement and a used sanitary napkin at the exit gate of the Army Club and near the residence of Privy Council president Gen Prem Tinsulanonda in Bangkok's Thevej district, the second such incident in the past three months, police said.

Police were informed that a black bag was at the exit gate of the Army Club, about 100 metres from the residence of Gen Prem, a former prime minister and head of the Privy Council.

A handwritten message attacking Gen Prem was attached to the bag.

Police and bomb squad responding hosed the bag with a powerful water cannon blast suspecting that it might contain a bomb. The bag was later destroyed and police found waste paper with excrement and a used sanitary napkin inside.

An early morning city worker, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration street sweeper Tawee Boonma, telephoned police reporting a suspicious looking bag at 4am and police destroyed it some two hours later. Mr Tawee said a similar incident and near the same location happened about three months ago.

Meanwhile, police in Samut Sakhon province, southeast of Bangkok, found a small brown loudspeaker box attached with a cell phone and connected with an electric wire in front of a school opposite a police station.

A police bomb squad said no dangerous materials were found, but they believed object was placed there by teenagers wanting to inncite uncertainty in the country. (MCOT online news)
