The detained Lebanese Hezballah terrorist suspect told a Swedish journalist that he is totally innocent and accuses the Israeli secret service of being behind the large cache of explosive materials uncovered by Thai police earlier this week.

Lebanese-Swedish terror suspect Hussein Atris (Photo by Surapol Promsaka na Sakolnakorn) "I am 100 per cent not guilty of the terror crimes I am accused of," said Hussein Atris, who was last week arrested at Suvarnabhumi airport on suspicion of preparing to carry out a terrorist attack in Bangkok."Much of the materials police found in my storage had been placed there, probably by Israeli secret service Mossad," the 47-year-old suspect said in an interview with Bangkok-based Swedish reporter Jan Kallman of the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.On Monday, police raided a three-storey commercial building in Samut Sakhon's Mahachai area and found 4,380 kilogrammes of urea-based fertiliser and 290 litres of ammonium nitrate."One evening I was taken out of prison, was placed in a car that drove off with me to a house somewhere. In there, I was interrogated by three men who apparently came from the Mossad. I have their first names. They claimed that I lied about various things," said Mr Atris."I am a Shiite Muslim, but not part of the Hezbollah. However, I live in an area outside Beirut where they are strong. I also have sympathy on the left, I also voted for the Social...

Pol Lt Gen Winai said Mr Atris could maintain his innocence but police insisted his arrest and the seizure of the chemicals were not a set-up by any security agencies.

"The suspect led the investigators to the rented house himself. How could it be a set-up? The suspect told the police about the house and led them there without any Israeli involvement," Pol Lt Gen Winai said.

Thailand recognises Palestinian state and in return some muslim terrorist want to attack Thailand ? Who is not happy with Thailands decision ? The Hezballah is supporting Palestine and is planning attacks on Thailand because Thailand is supporting Palestine, too ?

"Much of the materials police found in my storage had been placed there, probably by Israeli secret service Mossad,"
So one day we are told that all those materials were his and they were being prepared for export in containers destined for other countries and now we are told another completely different story.
The tales grow taller on down the line!

Svenviking - almost all countries engage in espionage and black ops.
Your argument that they have conducted such operations in the past and therefore this guy is innocent is not logical.

Never forget we are gullable and belive all that we are told.
Mossad is more than capable of this type of thing. Just look at there history.
Mossad will tell any nation anything it chooses so that its aims are met.
I would never belive anything that came from them. They took the identities of irish and british nationals to do a hit on a person in Dubai. Check the records. Then make up your own minds.

Interesting how he claims to have voted in a Swedish election. Not the kind of thing a non-swede would do or talk about. Odd how the Swedish reporter made no mention on him possibly not being Swedish. Could it be that the passport and the citizenship is in order after all.

I would really like to know how a lot of boxed table fans are bomb making materials. Easier to go to Ban Mo and buy what ever components one would need rather than buying a whole fan. Oh but maybe they are for export as he said. Pictures the press showed was of everything in boxes. Strange that. Maybe for export? So where were the pictures of the Bomb making materials being put together?

A while back a Ship was captured off the high seas in an act of piracy and it was claimed that there where weapons on board from Iran to Hezbollah. The weapons were proudly shown off on a dock to the worlds press as an example of terrorism. The story was big till it was pointed out that the labels on the weapons were for an Iranian military group or something like that which had been disbanded 15 or so years earlier and the weapons where a lot newer. Story died on the spot. Folk still remember it but not that it turned out to be a sham.

Is this a sham to hurt and try and control Thailand?
