Siam bombers could be foreigners, police spokesman says

Royal Thai Police spokesman said this morning the two suspects in the bombing at Siam Paragon earlier this month could be foreigners.

Police Lt. Col. Prawuth Thawornsiri said it is very strange police have found no match to fingerprints recovered from the crime scene with any criminal records, so he said it’s possible the bombers could be foreigners who’ve lived in Thailand for so long they can speak the language fluently.

Although no suspects have been identified, a number of arrest warrants have been issued for the two men seen on CCTV before and after the dual evening blasts on Feb. 2, as well as possible compatriots. No one was seriously injured in the blasts, the first incident of its kind in Bangkok since the military seized power last year.

Prawuth added the investigation is progressing as authorities are taking new approaches in their strategy to hunt for the attackers, INN News reported.
