Police have charged a Swedish-Lebanese man with suspected links to the Hezbollah militant group with possession of prohibited substances after they found a huge cache of materials used for making explosives in Samut Sakhon's Muang district Monday.

The Swedish passport used to enter Thailand and carried by Mr Atris when he was arrested last week.

More than 200 police Monday raided a three-storey commercial building in the Mahachai area after Hussein Atris, a Lebanese man carrying a Swedish passport, was arrested at Suvarnabhumi Airport on Thursday evening.

National Police chief Priewpan Damapong said 4,380kg of urea-based fertiliser and 290 litres of ammonium nitrate were found on the second floor of the building.

Khun Med #1, the on-going Global War on Terror is a war fought in the shadow, involving all the nations in the civilized world, which we are an integral part of it, against these evildoers sponsored by a terrorist-sponsor regime in Iran. It involves mostly gathering, and developing actionable intelligence. If the CIA, MOSSAD, and nine other foreign Intel Agencies told our Intel Agency about this terrorist plot right in our own backyard, what would you do?

And about Saddam Hussein, all of the US and Western European Intel Agencies believed he had WMDs, with names of his scientists like "Chemical Ali," and "Ms Antrax." WMD is a capability that Saddam spent his oil fortune to acquire it, and taking him out put an end to WMD in Iraq once and for all. And don't forget that it was the British MI-6 that first uncovered Saddam's nuclear weapon program.

So it just a lie? "So Thailand does what the US wants? Thailand belongs to the US? So there never was a terrorist threat to Thailand? just lies from America and isreal. This is about usual especially from the US."

"Thai Govt In Damage Control On Terrorafter Chalerm's chaotic response" No terror treat?
"ational Police chief Priewpan Damapong said 4,380kg of urea-based fertiliser and 290 litres of ammonium nitrate were found on the second floor of the building."
When the bomb goes off, do not cry and say why we did not warn you1 May be the bomb will only kill the American but not the Thais that happen to be around whe it happens, be be the terrorist is using the smart bomb that will not kill the Thais?
