Terrorist Attack in Bangkok, Iranian Involved
Two terrorist explosions rocked Bangkok Tuesday and at least one Iranian apparently was involved and was wounded, eyewitnesses said.
No fatalities were reported in the blasts near a school in the capital, where the government has been worried over Muslim rebels who previously have targeted civilians in the southern part of the country.
Thai media reported that an identification card of a wounded man who was seen carrying explosives revealed he apparently was of Irnaian descent. The Associated Press said the report has not yet been verified.
It said a photo sent through Twitter showed the man lying on a sidewalk and that the blast ripped off his legs.
Last month, Thai police caught a suspected Hizbullah terrorist who was allegedly trying to smuggle material for explosives out of the country to an unknown destination. The arrest came shortly after Israel and American intelligence officials warned Thailand of an imminent terrorist threat.
Tuesday’s blast followed by one day the bombing of the car of an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi, whose wife was seriously wounded after a passing motorcyclist attached a magnetic bomb to her vehicle. Indian intelligence officials suspect the attacker was an Iranian or was working for Iran.
Iran not only denied the allegation but also accused Israel of attacking its own embassy officials as part of a propaganda campaign against the Islamic Republic.

Man blows off own leg with grenade in Bangkok
Feb 14, 2012, 9:01 GMT
Bangkok - A man thought to be Iranian blew his own leg off with a grenade after being refused a cab ride in Bangkok.
The man, identified as Saeib Morabi, allegedly tried to get in a taxi in the city centre Monday but was refused a ride by the driver, prompting him to toss a grenade in the cab.
The resulting explosion injured the driver and two nearby pedestrians, said Major General Vichai Sangkhapai, deputy chief of Bangkok Police.
The suspect then fled the scene but was tracked down by police. He threw another grenade when they tried to arrest him, but it blew up next to him, severing his own leg, Vichai said.
A Pattaya hotel bill in the man's wallet bore the name Saeib Morabi. The hotel said he had registered there under an Iranian identity.
Iranian loses legs in Bangkok bombing
BANGKOK, Feb 14 – Traffic is stopped following the explosion of two bombs in separate locations in Bangkok's fashionable Sukhumvit 71, one injuring an Iranian man.
The man who lost his legs was initially reported to have thrown the bomb into Soi Pridi Panomyong 35 losing both his legs in the process, but there is no explanation as to the man’s purpose.
A photo on Twitter claimed to show the victim on a sidewalk near a school, his lower body seemingly gone due to an explosion.
Close at hand, in Soi Pridi Panomyong 31, a second bomb was found and the explosive ordnance disposal squad was working to defuse it. (MCOT online news)
Alcohol is necessary so that a man can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed by the facts
http://www.thailandoutlook.tv/BANGKOK: -- Two explosions happened in Sukhumvit Soi 71 or Phrakanong, the first one damaging a taxi at Soi Pridi Bhanomyong 31 and injuring the driver and three other people while the second one exploded in front of the Kasem Pittaya School at Soi Pridi Bhanomyong 35.
A foreigner was found with his two legs blown off at the scene of the second explosion.
The road has now been closed off to traffic as police are concerned there may be more bombs hidden in the area. Those living in the area are urged to remain indoors.
All of the injured have been transported to the Kluaynamthai Hospital except for the foreigner who was transported to Chulalongkorn Hospital.
Doctors at Kluaynamthai Hospital said 2 of the injured have ringing in their ears while 2 others have non-life threatening wounds.
Reports claim the foreigner who was injured threw 1st bomb at taxi and attempted to throw 2nd bomb at police but missed and blew off his own legs.
Police found Iranian currency at the scene of the 2nd explosion but they have not confirmed whether the foreigner is an Iranian national. Other reports claim he is of Lebanese descent.
Police also reported another explosion at Pridi Bhanomyong Soi 12, which is said to be the home of the foreigner.
PM Yingluck Shinawatra, who's on a provincial tour, has been informed of the bombings in Bangkok. Defense Minister ACM Sukumpol Suwanatat says he has ordered a check whether the explosions are a terrorist attack.

guess the US embassy was correct in putting Bangkok on a watch list.
Good thing the lpg tank in the cab did not go off as well. Another sad day for Thailand

So he blew up a taxi and blew up his legs, what a loser terrorist.
Im sure no extremist groups are taking credit for this one. Time to go back to the drawing board.

They caught someone at the airport earlier according to Thia TV a few moments ago. He had Iranian money in his pocket but they initially stated Lebanese.
Training camp. What type of training do you need to realise you don't drop a live grenade at your feet?

Looks like a first explosive went off in their house by accident, and this event made them leave in a hurry.DeanWeen wrote:So he blew up a taxi and blew up his legs, what a loser terrorist.

Heaven knows what their actual target was, I think the outcome was quite lucky, all things considered.
Instant karma at work regarding the guy's legs... Priceless.
I read on Yahoo that the guy threw the second grenade and hit the taxi but it bounce back at him and blew off his legs. He needed more training I think.

He's a retard, plain and simple.
Clearly if a taxi ignores you in Bkk the best course of action is to attempt to blow it up. That shit goes without saying.
