Links: 2nd Bomb In Bangkok, Hunting Suspect

There was a second blast in Bangkok today, possibly a second bomb from the same bomber, details are sketchy. It was thrown off a car bridge on the Chao Phraya River at a walking bridge below. This attack was also in a tourist area. Luckily the device landed in the water missing its target, no one was injured.

Thai police and other gov't institutions are hot on the trail of the suspected Erawan Shrine bomber. They have footage of a man dropping off a knapsack at the temple (the location of the first attack). I hope they capture the bastard who is responsible quickly, before any more innocents are killed.

Thailand is a beautiful country, with a loving compassionate, tolerant and understanding people. I hope this madness ends soon.

Note* The Thai writing on the third photo says, 18.52 Nau-ti (minutes). which means 1852 hrs. The bomb went off at about 1900 hrs.
