Political TV host’s home fire bombed

Petrol bombs were thrown at the residence of Theema “Judd” Kanjanapairin, the host of a political debate show on the anti-government Bluesky Channel, causing three small fires this morning. No injuries or major property damage were reported.

The assailants threw bombs into Judd’s home at 3am this morning, he described on his Facebook. The fire burned the fence and a trash can near his car. Authorities in the Samae Dam community have investigated the incident but have not identified a motive for the attack.

Theema was a former news host on 90FM radio who harshly criticized the government’s handling of the flood situation in 2011. Later his program was banned from the channel, Sanook reported.
