Radio devices allegedly used by Iranian suspects to assemble bombs that were found after the Feb 14 Bangkok explosions were made in China and sold in the Middle East, according to a police investigation team.

Such transistors could not be found in Thailand, said a source on the team, who met yesterday at Khlong Tan police station to follow up on progress in the case.

Police found two transistors stuffed with C4 bomb powder at a house rented by the suspects in Soi Pridi Banomyong 31, off Sukhumvit Soi 71.

We all know that transistors can be bought here. We all also know that the actuall terrorists who were to carry out the attacks are either still at large here or have now gone home.Its easy to check for the government, just check which people flew back early. No terrorist would have used the bombs in this way as their target is more important. They were part of a terrorist cell/network. yes there is still the question of the C4. Serial number/tag should give an idea where it's from.

"They later found the same stickers at various spots in Klong Toey district and suspected they were used to give directions to the bombers."

First it was to identify the path the targets would use and make it easier for the bombers to find.
Second, it was for an escape route for the bombers.
Now, it is to give directions to the bombers.
Love how things get sugar coated here.

What if the foreign terrorists had been successful in their attacks in Bangkok? It certainly would have changed life in Bangkok and life would never be the same.

From the statement we can assume..That the radio's come from Thailand grey market perhaps in China town, Bangkok. And that a small islamic mama/papa printer in Bangkok printed the stickers and are keeping their mouths shut about it! Because surely sercuity at the airport would have felt something was up with a person carrying a large amount of stickers and to many radios...TIT!
