Officers now say finger-prints found on suspected bomb-making equipment at the weekend match those of an unidentified man arrested in Bangkok on Tuesday.
Thai Police spokesperson Prawut Thawornsiri thinks both Thai nationals and foreigners were behind the attack. “It might be a group who lost out on profits after the police began blocking the illegal people smuggling networks in and out of the country.” he told ers.
