An Iranian man lost both his legs and injured four others when he threw a bomb at police that hit a tree and bounced back towards him on Sukhumvit 71 Road in Bangkok. According to a television news report, an Iranian man carrying a black bag hurled the first bomb at a taxi after the driver refused to accept him as a passenger. The cab driver was among the injured. When police arrived at the scene, the Iranian then threw a second bomb at them, but it hit a tree and bounced back towards him and exploded. The injured Iranian was rushed to Kluaynamthai Hospital.

    Thailand Please do not close your eyes on this matter it is far more serious then it appears. These bad people had very bad intentions, the real intentions will be unknown. But sadly it is good that it happened this way because their intentions could of been far more serious. I am American and i love Thailand very much to see terrorists taking advantage of good people. If needed. Thailand should ask for assistance from America so this terrible act of terrorists can be prevented from happening again.
