SEARCHING FOR CLUES

Thai Bombing Suspect Put Bag Under Bench

‘Worst incident that has ever happened in Thailand.’

Thai officials said Tuesday they are looking for a man in a yellow shirt seen in security footage from a deadly blast at a Bangkok shrine that killed at least 20 people and left at least 123 others wounded. National police chief Somyot Pumpanmuang said authorities were reviewing footage for a possible link and described a man who left a bag under a bench before quickly walking out. The explosion followed from the same location soon after he left. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha vowed to find who was responsible and called the blast at the busy Erawan Shrine “the worst incident that has ever happened in Thailand,” adding the attackers wanted “to destroy our economy, our tourism.” Additional explosions near the Taksin bridge Tuesday caused no injuries. While officials say they are looking at all possible sources for suspects in the attack, some local sources cite police saying the suspect is “Caucasian” or “Arab-looking.”
