One of the alleged accomplices to the key suspect wanted over the Erawan Shrine bombing in the Thai capital Bangkok last month is Chinese, officials from both countries say.

They say that Yusufu Mieraili was born in Xinjiang, home to China's Muslim Uighur minority.

A Chinese official told the Global Times that the bombing may have been the work of separatists in Xinjiang.

No-one has laid claim to the attack, which killed 20 people.

Thai police say Mr Mieraili is part of a group responsible for the blast.

The Global Times reported a Chinese official as saying that he belonged to the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a small Islamist separatist group said to be active in Xinjiang province in western China.

Hmmm, connect the dots.

A Chinese Muslim bombing in Thailand and four Chinese chemical factories destroyed by explosions all in one month’s time.

Yup.

The Chinese will not put up with that the way the wimps in the USA government would. Nor will the Thai people.

The Thai people I have met are the sweetest and kindest I have ever met- until you insult Buddha or their King.

In one instance 4 muzzies tried to take over a Chinese airliner. the passenger beat 3 of them to death, and kept the 4th alive so he could be questioned by police.

Justice before the plane even landed!

"The Chinese will not put up with that the way the wimps in the USA government would."

If the American people have become too civilized to do what's necessary to survive in an uncivilized world, we won't survive much longer.

One o’ them there natural-born citizens, huh? I used to know a guy who was Russian but was born in China due to his parents being diplomats of some sort. He liked to tell people that he was Chinese in his thick Russian accent. He was a hoot.
