| Thai police claim Bangkok bombing suspect fled to Turkey |
| 2015-09-15 |
| [Hurriyet Daily News] A key suspect in last month's bombing at a Bangkok shrine that killed 20 people has fled to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , Thai police said on Sept. 14. Police had previously said the man, carrying a Chinese passport in the name Abudureheman Abudusataer, may have directed the Aug. 17 bombing of the Erawan Shrine. Investigations revealed that he left Thailand on Aug. 16 for Bangladesh, and police speculated that he might have gone to China. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... national police front man Prawut Thavornsiri said that information gathered by Thai police and Bangladeshi officials showed that the man departed Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, on Aug. 30 and traveled to Istanbul as his final destination, via New Delhi and Abu Dhabi. "He departed Dhaka on Aug. 30 for Delhi by Jet Airways," Prawut said. "From Delhi, he continued his travel to Abu Dhabi, and from Abu Dhabi he traveled on Aug. 31 to Istanbul. This is his final destination. It's clear." This bolstered the theory that those behind the blast are Uighurs from the Chinese region of Xinjiang who have close ties to Turkey. After weeks of demurring, Thailand has suggested that those behind the blast may have been from a gang involved in smuggling Uighurs. But others speculate they may be separatists or Islamist bully boyz angry that Thailand repatriated more than 100 Uighurs to China in July. |
