A court in Thailand yesterday extended the detention of two suspects accused of planting two small bombs in front of police headquarters in Bangkok while Southeast Asian foreign ministers were meeting nearby.
The two men were arrested as they traveled south just hours after the devices were found unexploded on August 1. Ten small bombs exploded at various points in Bangkok on August 2 as the meeting of the Association of Southeast Nations continued with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in attendance.
Police are seeking four other suspects in addition to the two in custody.
Wildon Maha and Lu-ai Saengae, who were heavily guarded by a police SWAT team as they arrived Thursday at Bangkok Criminal Court, are from the southern province of Narathiwat and were apprehended on a bus at a police checkpoint on August. AP
