bomb at the Erawan shrine last month is believed to have
left Malaysia, deputy national police chief Chakthip
Chaijinda says.
Pol Gen Chakthip, who is overseeing the
probe into the
shrine blast on Aug 17 and the Sathon pier bombing the
following
day, was speaking Wenesday after returning
from a trip to Malaysia to follow up
on the case.
He said the yellow-shirted suspect
has been identified, but
refused to name him. He travelled to Malaysia after
police
there announced they had arrested three suspects -- two
Malaysians and a Pakistani -- for having links to the Bangkok
city blasts.
The suspect had entered Thailand more than once with a
Chinese
passport that stated he was from the Xinjiang region,
said Pol Gen Chakthip,
adding that police believed he sneaked
into
Malaysia two or three weeks ago though no record of his
exit had been found.
"It is likely that he has now left Malaysia,"
said Pol Gen Chakthip
who will take the helm of the police
force after Pol Gen
Somyot Poompunmuang retires at the end
of this month.
He said Pol Lt Gen Suchart Teerasawat, a
police inspector-
general, will travel to Malaysia today to follow up the case
with Malaysian authorities.
He said Thai police told their Malaysian
counterparts that
according to Thai information, the trio were involved in
helping bomb cell suspects to flee, but Malaysian authorities
had not confirmed
this.
The three were, however, definitely involved with a network
smuggling
people into Malaysia, he said. Meanwhile,
Pol Gen Somyot denied he attributed
the bombings to the
Thai government's decision to deport 109 Uighur migrants
back to China in July. He insisted the blasts were in
retaliation for the
government's suppression of human
trafficking gangs involved in the long-standing
smuggling
of Uighurs through Thailand. On Tuesday, Pol Gen Somyot
told
reporters that the Erawan bombing and July's attack on
the Thai consulate in
Istanbul, Turkey, were sparked by
the same issue.

The
consulate was ransacked following outrage after Thailand
deported the Uighurs
to China. However, Prime Minister
Prayut Chan-o-cha on the same day denied the
motive was
related to the Uighurs' deportation.
In response to Turkish authorities' denials
that the prime
bomb plotter suspect Abudureheman "Ishan" Abudusataer
had travelled from Bangladesh and entered Turkey, the
police chief said that
Turkey would not have evidence of
the suspect's arrival if he had sneaked
through an unofficial
border crossing.
A
Turkish Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman told
reporters it has not received
official information from
Thai authorities.
"We have not officially received a name
and information
from the Thai authorities," the spokesman said. Police and
Turkish embassy officials on Wednesday inspected 251
passports passports seized
from the Pool Anant apartment
in Nong Chok district on Aug 29.
However,
Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Sriwara
Rangsipramanakul said Turkish embassy
officials have not
been able to confirm whether the passports are genuine
or
fake. The documents had to be taken to Turkey for them
to be verified.
News,Security,Bangkok Post, 17 September 2015.\
Although at this time,we can not find the suspected ,I
believe
if Thai authorities try their best and with cooperation
of all
the country ,we can arrest the suspected in the end.
Sincerely Yours.
