| Suspected Iranian Agent Bungles Bombing in Bangkok |
| 2012-02-14 |
| Tuesday afternoon in Bangkok, a series of bombs went off along a road about two miles from my home here. Exact details are still emerging, but it appears that a lone bomber threw an explosive device at taxi outside a school on Sukhumvit Soi 71 Road - along called Soi Pridi Binomyong - injuring the driver and passengers, but nothing life threatening. When police arrived, the bomber evidently attempted to throw an explosive at them - but dropped his bomb, and blew his own legs off Don't you just love a happy ending!. There are also reports of a third bomb going off (or being found) at the bomber's home nearby. There are reports that Iranian currency was found at the scene - and there are also reports that the bomber is Lebanese. He apparently survived, despite his injuries, and was taken to a leading university hospital in Bangkok. Fairly gruesome photos of the legless bomber at the link. |
