Site of bomb blast in Bangkok reopens to public - News, Weather and Sports for ... - KLKN
Associated Press BANGKOK (AP) - A police manhunt was underway in Thailand for an "unidentified foreign man" shown in a security video leaving a backpack at a popular Bangkok shrine just minutes before a bomb exploded there. Two other people seen on the video near the man are also considered suspects in Monday's deadly bombing, police said late Wednesday. Authorities released a sketch of the man who left behind the backpack and offered a 1 million baht ($28,000) reward for information leading to his arrest. The grainy security video shows the man, wearing a yellow T-shirt and shorts, sitting down on a bench at the shrine, taking off a black backpack and leaving it behind as he stands up and walks away. Time stamps show he left the shrine 15 minutes before the explosion, which struck just before 7 p. m. The two possible accomplices are seen standing in front of the man, said police spokesman Lt. Gen. One of the men was wearing a red shirt and the other was in white, and they were seen leaving the area shortly before the man in yellow also leaves. He said that if the men in red and white shirts were innocent and aware of the suspicions against them, they should report to police. Source: www.klkntv.com
