BANGKOK — A photograph has been released of a suspect arrested today near the border with Cambodia in eastern Thailand.

The photograph was released by the military government as word spreads of a pending announcement an arrest has been made of another suspect in the deadly bombing of the Erawan Shrine earlier this month, according to sources. The arrest was reportedly made in Sa Kaeo province.

 

Conflicting accounts indicate whether the suspect is the so-called "yellow shirted man," but three messages posted to Twitter by Bangkok Post reporter Wassana Nanuam said she was told by Prime Minister Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha the man is the prime suspect in the attack on the Erawan Shrine, which killed 20 people earlier this month.

 

In one message, Wassana said the arrest happened in Sa Kaeo province near the border with Cambodia, citing Prayuth as her direct source. According to Wassana, Gen. Prayuth said the suspect is a foreigner.

Meanwhile police spokesman Prawuth Thawornsiri, who is expected to give a public address at around 3:30pm, has played down reports he is the man.

 

Meanwhile three new arrest warrants have been issued this afternoon for three men. The warrants indicate their nationality as Turkish. Their names (transcribed from Thai) are Ali Jolan, Ahmet Bozoglan and a third unidentified man. All three are charged with illegal possesion of explosives.
