Large bomb goes off in Bangkok

[somsak]

What is the reason behind this blast; is it the insurgency in S.Thailand ?

In real life, we always see the result before finding the reason. Right now, I can only say that this is an intensional bombing for kills, and for media.

Interesting. Why do you have this conclusion?
.

Obvious man, this is a tourist attraction and the bomb was detonated when the place was crowded, this is definitely going to hit the tourist industry in a big way. Furthermore, most of the injured are chinese and taiwanese and the chinese are the number 1 tourist group to Thailand.

This can't be a coincidence.

May the departed souls be at peace. Feel sad for innocent lives being lost once again because one group thinks they are kaffir. What crap! where did humanity go?

I am sympathetic to Islamo even if they planted the bomb. They are so discriminated. Even the Swedes who pay Islamo free food, free school, free healthcare, free house, free monies are discriminating the Islamo and they wanted the Swede dead.

To redeem their sins, the Thai got to deliver their daughters to be raped by Islamo as well as their own head to be beheaded. Nothing less.

I think you should wait until it is confirmed, or clearly it is Jihadist, before saying such a bad thing. We should avoid blaming wrong person. For the real criminals would be laughing, while creating new enemy.

If they are going to plant a bomb, they should do it in the red light district. Kill sex tourism in Thailand.

Some 'chatter' is being picked up- about a Hindu temple being targeted. Is the Erawan Temple considered to be Hindu ?

Thai defence minister: Bangkok bombers targeted foreigners to damage tourist industry, AsiaOne Asia News

That may rules out the Red Shirt because the North Easterner sojourn in Bangkok in large numbers and tourism is important livelihood for them.

Red shirt backers are tycoon and wrecking Thai economy does not align to their interest.

1.Blaming "Islamic Terrorists" for such acts has become a fashion. The S Thai Muslims have been struggling for autonomy for many decades. Therefore, it would be easy to blame them. But consider the fols:
a. S Thai Muslims have never taken their agitation/struggle outside S Thailand.
b. " Islamic Terrorists" normally use suicide bombers. Not done in this case.
c. Terrorist groups would normally use multiple bombs for effect. Here the Police searched but failed to find anymore device.
d. A woman had entered the temple about 15 mins before the blast carrying a handbag. She is now the top suspect. Muslim "terrorists" do not use women for such ventures.
e. There was a procession led by the Crown Prince in the day to celebrate the queen's birthday. For the S Thai that procession would have been an easier and more productive target.
f. If the S Thai were to target a temple, it would be a Buddhist one, not Hindu. In other words, the perpetrator was Buddhist by faith.
2. Now consider who is the top beneficiary through this misdeed? The Thai Junta obviously. This act now perpetuates their rule. I would like to question the Thai Military Intel on this. And this suspicion will be proven correct when we see the Junta pouncing on political leaders in the coming days.

Yes, but still, can't rule out anybody. Mainstream red shirts would never do this, but small radical groups could, they hate Bangkok. Two pipe bombs exploded outside a luxury shopping mall in the same area in February, but caused little damage. That was attributed to red shirts.

Some reports say that it was a pipe bomb, but pipe bombs are not this powerful.
