Suspected Iranian Agent Bungles Bombing in Bangkok
|
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.
