Cops hunting
a bomber who killed 20 people , including a British student, at a
Bangkok shrine have arrested a suspect found with 10 passports.
They found
the suspect with bomb-making materials at a flat in Nong Jok on the outskirts
of the Thai city.
The man had
10 passports and is thought to have rented up to four apartments in the
capital.
Named Adem
Karadag on a Turkish passport, police made him pose in front of his
bomb-making equipment which included batteries, ball bearings and detonator
fuses.
British law
student Vivian Chan Wing-yan, 19, was one those killed when a bomb
tore through the Erawan shrine nearly two weeks ago.
Most of the
120 injured in the blast, audible more than a mile away, were tourists.
Police don’t
know if the suspect is Turkish but a senior officer said: “He’s most likely
related to the bombing.”
Smaller
devices have been used in domestic political violence in Bangkok but
the size of the explosion at the Hindu holy site is unprecedented.
