Thailand wants to label it terrorist attack, but the US government said it’s too quick to judge. Wow.
Well, they’re terrorists, definitely, whoever is behind it. But their identity is not entirely clear. The guy doesn’t look Muslim, and in fact looks more like a leftist - he also didn’t blow himself up but just left the backpack to detonate by itself, which would be more typical of a Marxist than a Muslim.
In the photo, he also seems to be wearing bands around his forearms. Does this mean anything in anbody’s religion?
Thailand has a Moslem Problem in the south.Thailand has a chance now to do what Israel should have done in 1967 or 1972 but didn’t, force all the Moslems across the border into the adjacent Moslem countries. Thailand would then have a much easier time sealing their single Moslem border. It is pretty short.
If he is not an antiwar nihililst then he is probably working for Thailand’s Moslems in the Kra isthmus whoo are about as nasty a bunch of barbarians as any other Moslems in the ME or Chechnaya. They occasionally raid Buddhist villages and kill lone children and monks here and there and maybe plant bombs in the Capital. In the pic he looks like a pretty boy American or English college student type.
