Two Indian nationals reportedly seen talking often with Erawan bomb suspect Yusufu Mieraili were detained when a team of police and soldiers again raided the Maimuna Garden Home Apartment building in Min Buri district on Sunday, a police source said.
The same apartments were raided on Sept 2, when security forces found a quantity of bomb-making materials in Room No 9106 rented by Wanna Suansan, a Thai-Muslim woman wanted on suspicion of involvement in the Erawan Shrine bombing on Aug 17 and the explosion at Sathon pier the following day.
The source said authorities searched the apartment building again on Sunday evening, acting on information that some people believed involved in the bombings might still be there.
Two people whose identities were not disclosed were apprehended from one room. Each was carrying an Indian passport. They were taken away by military officials for questioning.
The raid came after investigators examined more surveillance camera footage from the apartment building. They discovered the two Indians had frequently talked to Mr Mieraili, the 25-year-old man detained in Sa Kaeo province on Sept 1 while attempting to enter Cambodia.
The two were being questioned to find out what they talked about with the suspect and if they were involved in the bombings, the source said.
