Ten Syrians linked to Islamic State entered Thailand in October to attack Russian interests, Thai police said in a leaked document citing information from the Russian Federal Security Service.
In the document, Special Branch police urged an intensification of security around "target areas that Russian authorities are concerned about", including venues associated with allies that have taken part in attacks on IS in Syria.
Russia began air strikes in Syria on Sept. 30 and has stepped up attacks in recent weeks. An IS affiliate claimed responsibility for downing a Russian airliner over Egypt's Sinai peninsula in October, killing all 224 people on board.
Thailand's Special Branch, which deals with national security issues, circulated the document to other police units.
Marked "Urgent" and dated Nov. 27, the Special Branch police said intelligence from Russia warned that 10 Syrians "related to" IS entered Thailand between Oct. 15 and Oct. 31. The document was circulating on social media on Thursday.
"The document is real. We received it from Special Branch," said a police officer who handles international crime matters. He declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.

In Thailand killing the Buddhist Priest is considered sport for muslims until they are caught at which point the villagers will then hang them by their feet and cut their heads off.
Thailand (about 94% Buddhist) has been fighting an insurgency in their five most southern provinces since the late 90s costing thousands of lives.
