Bangkok Bomb Suspect Identified

Thai police on Saturday said an arrest warrant had been issued for a "Chinese" man over last month's deadly Bangkok blast, backtracking after they earlier identified the suspect as a member of the country's Uighur minority.

Police hunting for the perpetrators of Thailand's deadliest bombing arrested a suspect on Saturday they said fit the description of a man identified on security cameras as leaving a rucksack at the site of the August 17 blast in Bangkok.

Thailand's junta on Thursday said the Bangkok bomb that killed 20 people was not likely to be the work of a global terror group although a foreigner has been identified as the chief suspect.

Thailand's police chief on Wednesday said the Bangkok bomb suspect was part of a "network" as the hunt intensified for the perpetrator of the country's worst-ever attack that left 20 people dead.

Thailand's junta leader said Tuesday security forces had identified a suspect in an unprecedented Bangkok bombing that targeted foreigners at a packed religious shrine, killing at least 21 people.
