Thailand wants to label it terrorist attack, but the US government said it’s too quick to judge. Wow.

I have photos - that I can never figure out how to post here —that show the bomber is a Westerner (Farang in Thailand) ... The photos are VERY convincing. He is longish somewhat curly brown hair - he is taller than Thai men... the CCTV videos are very good showing him taking off the backpack and then leaving walking around a corner looking at a phone.. He likely detonated the bomb with the cell phone.

There are also photos of the perp in the police department standing and sitting at a desk. This could be an earlier arrest or one for the bombing. I have not narrative at all for any language describing the photos. But again - this guy is a young Westerner ... So sad ... another Liberal mostly likely protesting the Military Junta that now runs the government ...

I haven't seen the video on the BBC but the version on rt.com is very interesting:

1. It is clear that the video operators are following the suspect in the yellow top after he dropped the bag and before the explosion; the last camera is panned to track him. Either they saw him leave the bag and became suspicious or they were already tracking him;

2. He may have a male accomplice in a red top; the suspect stands close beside this second person who is sitting down; he then occupies the seat when that person gets up and walks away, before ditching the rucksack;

3. There are others sharing the seat who remain seated. After the London and Boston bombings I now always watch people carrying rucksacks. If you ever see someone abandon a bag/rucksuck/package - don't just sit there.
