'Improvised' bomb used in attack on BMTA bus By Phoojadkarn Daily 7 August 2006 11:16 The commander of division four of the metropolitan police said yesterday that the police will do their best to investigate the bombing of a Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) joint bus on Saturday night. At 10:40pm on Saturday, Lat Phrao police received a report of an explosion on the number 95 bus, which was then parked in front of Bang Toey temple on Kaset-Nawamin Road. After investigating the bus, scattered pieces of an alarm clock, plaster and plastic bags were found around the rear seats. According to the 32-year-old driver, Jitrakorn Banjonghat, the bus, with about 20 on board, had just left Happy Land Market and was heading to Bang Khen when he heard three blasts. When he turned and saw passengers were hurt, he called the police. Somnuek Nakwichit, 23, who was wounded in both legs, was sent to Lat Phrao hospital along with three other passengers. Other riders suffered minor cuts and bruises. The driver revealed that he saw four suspicious-looking teenage men get on the bus at Happy Land Market and off at the next stop. Division 4 Commander Maj Gen Wittaya Kosiyasathit described the bomb as an improvised explosive device detonated by a clock, which was set to explode at 10.40pm. He said it was likely that the bombers only wanted to threaten those on the bus. "At the moment, we are looking into several motives as it might be related to the current conflict between the BMTA buses and joint buses, or a personal conflict with the bus driver. We are doing our best to unwind the case," said the commander. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
