Arrest in Thailand After U.S. Terror Alert

 

By J. DAVID GOODMAN

The American Embassy in Bangkok warned in a message on its Web site on Friday of a possible attack by “foreign terrorists†against Americans in Thailand.

 

Shortly afterward, the Thai government said it had arrested a Lebanese man and described him as a member of the militant group Hezbollah. Thailand’s deputy prime minister told news agencies that the arrest came after days of coordination with Israel that began with a tipoff in late December.

 

“Following concern raised by the Israeli Embassy about a possible attack by a group of Lebanese terrorists in Bangkok, Thai police officials had been coordinating with Israeli officials since before the New Year,†the deputy prime minister, Chalerm Yubamrung, told Reuters.

 

It was not immediately clear whether the warning by the United States and the arrest were connected.

 

The embassy alert, addressed to American citizens, said that “foreign terrorists may be currently looking to conduct attacks against tourist areas in Bangkok in the near future†and urged “caution when visiting public areas where large groups of Western tourists gather in Bangkok.â€

 

Tourism is one of Thailand’s major industries, and millions of foreign visitors visit the capital each year, according to Thai government statistics.

 

Mr. Chalerm told The Associated Press that the authorities had been tracking two men but that they had only arrested one, who was being held in connection with possible immigration violations. “Technically the two men have not committed any crimes under the Thai law, so we could only use the immigration law to keep this one suspect in custody,†he told The A.P.

As I combat vet, I can understand guys being pissed off enough at the enemy to do this. The really stupid part is their filming it and letting others see it. WTF were they thinking? Morons!

hmmm.... i guess the risk is still higher than usual but (to me) not high enough to make me cancel my trip. for all concerned, i hope nothing happens; when i get there, will consider spending time in less touristy places for fun..... there are, after all, tons of little bars on the side streets of bkk....
