Six home-made bombs were found and disposed of at three spots in Lat Krabang area in eastern Bangkok early Friday morning after the arrest of a suspect in the Government Lottery Office (GLO) bombs case.

Police said a home-made bomb was placed by the wall of the Bangkok Bank’s Sukhumvit 77 branch (Prawet) in Soi Lat Krabang 20.

At the second spot, two bombs were found at the entrance to Soi Kanchanaphisek 39.

At the third spot, three bombs were found at a U-turn under a bridge across Khlong Nong Prue opposite Suvarnabhumi market in Soi Lat Krabang 13.

All of the bombs, similar to the ones found earlier in front of the GLO, had been disposed of, police said.

The details were released by Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung at a press conference also attend by Pol Gen Priewpan Damapong, the national police chief, and Pol Maj-Gen Wichai Sangprapai, the deputy Metropolitan Police chief.

Pol Gen Priewpan said that about 3am Metropolitan and Special Branch police arrested a man suspected to have laid a number of bombs in front of the GLO head office on Ratchadamnern Road on Dec 6. He was arrested the mouth of Soi Kanchanapisek 39.

The suspect, during the course of investigation, revealed that more bombs had been placed at the three spots, prompting police and bomb disposal units to rush to the scenes.

He was identified as Jirawat Chanpeng, a native of Sakon Nakhon province.

Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm said Mr Jirawat denied any involvement in the GLO bombs case.

Following the interrogation, police went to check the other sites and found the six bombs.

He said explosives ordnance disposal (EOD) police who examined the bombs found this morning and disposed of them said they were made by a trained bomb maker.

Police believed Mr Jirawat was not without accomplices. Whether he was backed by any political group was not known, he said.

A special team, led by Pol Maj-Gen Anuchai Lekbamrung, the deputy Metropolitan Police chief, was set up to further investigate the case.

Mr Chalerm said police would do their best to make sure the people can celebrate the New Year without any worry.

Meanwhile, the Tourism and Sports Ministry has asked security agencies to be more careful in giving out news about bombs being planted in Bangkok, because it could affect tourism.

Spokesman Watchara Kannika said the ministry is especially worried about news reported by foreign news agencies.

He was speaking in a press conference today following the discovery of six home-made bombs in eastern Bangkok.

“Relevant agencies,” Mr Watchara said, “had better work carefully and quietly. They should not tell of their actions officially.”
