Police arrest second foreign suspect
A foreign man described as a "main suspect" in the deadly Bangkok bombing was arrested yesterday, with Thai police calling him an important figure in the network that staged the attack.
The man detained near the border with Cambodia is the second foreigner held over the August 17 blast at a religious shrine which killed 20 people, mostly ethnic Chinese tourists.
Police also said arrest warrants have been issued for three fresh suspects still at large, two of whom have names which appear foreign.
National police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri said investigators believe the suspect is "an important person in the network" behind the bombing, Thailand's worst single mass-casualty attack.
DNA samples were being taken from the man to see if they match any locations searched by police.
