@Renaissance, D9,

"90-day rule will be shortened to 45 days?" Do you know that for a fact?

I must say, if it wasn't so serious, it would be funny.

Med142, if you read the info from other media, you will find out that there were 3 involved. One has his legs blown off, another arrested at the airport, & other still on the run. Reason why taxi wouldn't take him, he was covered in blood from explosion at his rented house, where since bomb making things have been now discovered. Not a Mad Man, criminal activity (as police hinted earlier), but a small terrorist group who may have being targeting Israeli/US in Bangkok. Loss of face & problems with tourism, give the Gov. a problem. What spin will be given over next few days?

Wow... I mean WOW! It doesn't matter what happens, there are some people who refuse to accept even the most obvious.
Look at the other sources... The first explosion was at a house he shared with two other Iranians. The three men fled. One of them was trying to get in a taxi and was refused. He threw the second bomb at the taxi. When police arrived, he threw the third bomb at them and was maimed (although I heard he has now died) when it bounced back at him.

A man with a mental disorder? Just wow!

Reports coming in of the foreigner being a "suicide bomber" from Lebanon - motive or target is still unclear

Don not worry Charlerm, we remember your recent statement ...

'People often believe in what the United States has to say, though sometimes the information can be inaccurate,' he said, urging the US to be more careful about making announcements that could adversely affect Thailand in the future. Everything is alright now' ...

According to BBC, there were three Iranian men and three explosions.
1) At the house they shared.
2) A bomb thrown at a taxi
3) A bomb thrown at police.
Hmmm Isn't this EXACTLY what US Intelligence warned the Government about last month?
And when Peua Thai were patting themselves on the back for arresting one man out a cell of four, weren't there calls for more action and less complacency?
