Ankara asks Thai authorities about bombing suspect
[Hurriyet Daily News] Thai authorities have not given any information over claims that a key suspect in the plotting of last month's deadly bombing in Bangkok was last tracked via multiple flights to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tanju Bilgic said Sept. 15.

Thai police stated that a man said to have played a leadership role in the bombing fled to Bangladesh using a Chinese passport on the eve of the blast and two weeks later stopped in New Delhi and Abu Dhabi on his way to Istanbul.

Thailand's Turkish embassy sent a note to the foreign ministry about the claims, but could not receive any information, Bilgic said. Turkey would launch an investigation if Thai authorities informed Ankara about the allegations, he added.

No group has grabbed credit for the Aug. 17 bombing at the Erawan Hindu shrine, which killed 20 people, including 14 foreigners, among them seven from Hong Kong and mainland China.

An arrest warrant has been issued for a man using the name Abu Dustar Abdulrahman, alias Izan, and circulated via Interpol.

and were assisting in the investigation.

Thai visas were issued separately in Kuala Lumpur to men using the names Abu Dustar Abdulrahman and Yusufu Mieraili.

Both had applied using Chinese passports, which has led to speculation the bombing may have been Dire Revenge by sympathizers of Uighur Moslems, many of which seek passage to Turkey via Thailand.
