they have arrested two suspects in connection with the
Erawan shrine and Sathon pier bombings.
Anti-Money Laundering Office secretary-general Seehanat

the Erawan shrine and Sathon pier bombings yesterday.

A police source said Thai authorities were
informed on Friday
about the arrests. The police source said Pol Lt Gen Suchart
Teerasawat, an inspector-general who has been assigned to
lead a police team to seek cooperation from Malaysia,
returned to
Thailand on Friday. Pol Lt Gen Suchart was sent
to Malaysia to help try and
arrest the yellow-shirted suspect
in the shrine blast after learning the man
had sneaked out
of Thailand through Narathiwat’s Sungai Kolok district.
The
source said Pol Lt Gen Suchart is now in Yala, waiting for
Malaysia to inform
him if they are going to extradite the
suspects to to Thailand. Deputy national
police chief Chakthip
Chaijinda, who is overseeing the investigation into the
bombings, reportedly left Thailand for an undisclosed
country yesterday.
In
another development, Chinese authorities have been
contacted to help capture a
man from the country’s Xinjiang
region, who is believed to be the mastermind
behind last
month’s Erawan shrine and Sathon pier bombings,
according to Prime
Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.
Meanwhile, the probe into the money trail of one of
the suspects
has found that he received more than 700,000 baht from
overseas
and the money was transferred to his bank account
between February and April,
according to the Anti-Money
Laundering Office.
The move to seek Chinese help
follows foreign media reports
citing Bangladeshi police that Abudureheman
Abudusataer,
also known as Ishan, has left Bangladesh for China on a
Chinese
passport.
National police spokesman Nazrul Islam was quoted by AFP
as saying
the suspect arrived in Dhaka on Aug 16 and headed
for China on Aug 30.
Asked
whether extradition will be requested to bring Mr Ishan
back to Thailand if he
is caught in China, Gen Prayut said the
suspect must be arrested first.
If the country where the suspectis arrested
has an extradition
treaty with Thailand, cooperation will begin on how to
return
the suspect, he added. National police spokesman Prawut
Thavornsiri said
Bangladeshi ambassador to Thailand,
Saida Muna Tasneem, told him during a
meeting yesterday
that Mr Ishan had departed Bangladesh and transited through
India, but she did not know his destination.
Meanwhile, the Bangladeshi embassy
released a statement
yesterday, saying it will work closely with Thailand to
gather
information about the suspected Erawan shrine bombing
mastermind’s
activities while he was in Bangladesh.
“Law
enforcement agencies in Bangladesh are currently
investigating the case and
will share all relevant information
with Thai authorities and all other
concerned countries and
agencies including Interpol,” the statement said.
Pol Lt Gen Prawut said police have not yet
issued an arrest
warrant for Mr Ishan as they are gathering more evidence.
If
the evidence shows he is linked to the blast, a warrant for
his arrest will be
issued immediately.
Pol
Lt Gen Prawut said he believes more than one arrest
warrant will be issued
soon. A total of 11 arrest warrants
have so far been approved in the bombing
case.
Asked
about the motive for for the blasts, the spokesman said
information suggests
the attack was likely to be an act of
retaliation by a network smuggling people
across the border
who lost money after a recent crackdown.
Thai police have so far arrested two
suspects. Adem Karadag,
28, also known as Bilal Mohammed, who was picked up in
his
room at the Pool Anant apartment in Nong Chok district on
Aug 29, while
Yusufu Mieraili, 25, was later apprehended,
according to the Thai military, in
Sa Kaeo on Sept 1.
The two are now being detained at Min Buri prison.
The
Justice Ministry yesterday authorised the 11th Military
Circle to be used as a
special remand facility to detain the
two suspects.
Justice Minister Paiboon Koomchaya said the
request was made
by security officers to the Corrections Department. “Officials
from the department will be sent to carry out their duties there
in the same
way they do at ordinary prisons,” Gen Paiboon said.
Amlo chief Seehanat Prayoonrat on Friay held
a press
conference about the money trail of the suspected bombing
network.
The
probe found Emrah Davutoglu — the husband of Thai
bomb network suspect Wanna
Suansan, who rented a room at
the Maimuna Garden Home apartment in Bangkok’s
Min Buri
district where bomb-making materials were discovered —
received
156,106 baht on Feb 17 and 157,646 baht on
March 17 through overseas transfers.
Another 410,000 baht
was put in his account on April 7.
The
money was gradually withdrawn from his bank account
until July 2, when there
was only 395 baht left, Pol Col
Seehanat said, adding that a further 14,495
baht was later
transferred into his bank account on Aug 27, leaving
14,854
baht.
The wired money was believed to have been
used to fund the
purchase of chemicals used in making the bombs,
Pol Col
Seehanat said.

As the transaction of money is founded ,it should
linked
to lead to find out who mastered all the suspects

what motive.

authorities.

Hope for peace in Thailand and all over the
world.
