Warrant for bomb suspect in Thailand

Police in Thailand have issued an arrest warrant for an “unidentified foreign man” seen leaving a bag minutes before a deadly bombing at a Bangkok shrine.

Police also released a sketch of the man they believe carried out Monday’s bombing and offered a 1 million baht (€25,000) reward for help leading to his arrest. But apart from the rough portrait, authorities had few solid leads.

At a news conference, the national police chief expressed uncertainty about the man’s origin. Somyot Poompanmoung said the suspect “looks like a foreigner” but “might have been in a disguise and wearing a fake nose” to conceal his identity.
