City police are looking into possible links between last week's central Bangkok bomb blasts and the posting of a string of stickers with an enigmatic message, a source said.

Iranian bomb suspect Mohammad Khazaei takes part in a reenaction scene with police at the Airport Rail Link station at Ramkhamhaeng. He took the train from there to Suvarnabhumi airport, where he was arrested after the three bomb blasts on Sukhumvit Soi 71. THITI WANNAMONTHA

Fifty-two stickers bearing the word "Sejeal" were found posted along a road in Klong Toey district.

Khun Pointoffew #12, between the Crusaders who never read the Word of God, and the "End of the Spear" missionaries who were martyred by the very people they were trying to share the Word of God to, which ones do you think were the "Christians?" May I ask you can anyone become a "Christian" without reading and interpreting the Word of God in the Bible for oneself?

The current Iranian regime is behaving jus like these Iranian terrorist suspects. How crazy and suicidal they must be to advertise their deadly intention daily, to make sure that the very people they want to destroy know what they are trying to do, especially, when that people can wipe them out with far more superior firepower (200+ nukes). If this is not pure insanity, I don't know what is!

Perfect script for another Hollywood movie. Suspected terrorists are innocent. The bad guys are actually the evil West.

The word "sejeal" may refer to a passage in the Koran that tells of a miracle when birds from heaven dropped "sejeal stones" on an army riding elephants from Yemen who were attempting to kill Mohammed, scaring the animals and saving the prophet's life.

Furthermore, Palestinian guerrillas have referred to their rockets and mortars used to attack Israel as "sejeal stones".

so if these guys are iranian whose language is persian/farsi, and they read the koran in arabic, why did they put signs up in english? why did they use the english word "sejeal" bit obvious right, but good enough to link the english speaking world with an act of terrorism right? why did they go to pattaya and do the tourist thing? why does the news keeps saying "bombs" when thy were hand grenades? its just my opinion but this is all just propaganda, its only a matter of time before the US invade Iran, us and israel are "strategic allies" not sure where thailand fits into all tis though!

"I sincerely have my doubts about any Iranian connection. Its too obvious."

Dear ex-pet, Did you read:

"The suspects are all Iranian nationals and they were thought to be targetting Israeli officials."

The Iranian connection IS that they are all Iranians!!! That's obvious...

I agree with those who suspect possible conspiracy against Iran. The most unlikely part, in my view, is the 'fact' that those terrorists cooperate with their captors.

To spiceman, discussion 2, I know you, like myself, are a person of faith. So how can you utter "Here we go again, a bunch of practitioners of the so-called "Religion of Peace.""? Doesn't the Bible promote crusades.

According to the bbc, Thailand is seeking 6 (nikkhahfard javad, who is said to be of middle easten orgin),people now to do with the bombs. if these signs.have been put all over Bangkok. Surely there would have been someone who knew what they ment? If they were anti-iran exiles as the cleric inbangkok has said, why did they come from iran and why did some return to iran? he knows more than he is saying.
