BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand grappled on Monday with the mystery of who ruined New Year parties with a series of bombs that killed three people in Bangkok and wounded more than 30, including foreigners, as police ruled out the obvious suspects.
A top policeman ruled out Muslim insurgents waging a separatist insurgency in the Malay-speaking far south despite similarities in style, and no one in authority was pointing the finger at backers of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
"I don't believe it has anything to do with the militants in the south," deputy national police chief General Achiravit Supanpasat told reporters after the unprecedented spate of bombs forced the cancellation of New Year street parties.
What a way to start the new year.
