Second Arrest in Bangkok Shrine Bombing

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

The head of Thailand’s military government announced a second arrest in the bombing of a shrine that left 20 people dead.

After the arrest of the suspect at the Cambodian border, Lt. Gen. Prawut Thavornsiri told reporters the suspect is “a key perpetrator in this case.”  He said the suspect is also connected to a bombing at a Bangkok pier the day after the shrine attack.

Officials say that bomb making materials and forged passports were found at the home of the arrested man.

“At first we thought he is Turkish. But we just found out two Turkish passports he is holding are all fake,” Prawut told CNN.  “We also found many empty fake passports, also various kinds of evidence.”

Police also issued more arrest warrants for people they believe to be connected to the attack.  Seven people are now sought with most of them foreigners.  One, a Muslim woman named Wanna Suansan, is the only named suspect and is currently in Turkey.

Police would not say if either of the two men currently in custody is the man shown in closed circuit video dropping a backpack at the shrine location which is speculated to have contained the bomb.
