| Thailand's Prime Minister says terror suspects arrested this week were planning a bombing spree against embassies and tourist sites to coincide with an APEC leaders summit in Bangkok in October. US President George W Bush and Prime Minister John Howard are among world leaders scheduled to attend the meeting. Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra used his weekly radio address to announce further details of a terror plot revealed this week after the arrest of three Thai Muslims. Mr Thaksin says the group was planning to set of a series of car bombs on October 20 and 21 as the Asia Pacific Economic Forum was underway. He says the information is based on the written confession of alleged ringleader and Jemaah Islamiah operative Ari bin Ali, who was arrested in May and handed over to Singapore authorities. |
