Police hunt for woman in connection with Bangkok bombing

Thai police are seeking two new suspects – a Thai woman and a foreign man – in the widening investigation into Bangkok’s deadly bombing two weeks ago.

They released a photo of the woman’s Thai identification card and a sketch of the man in a televised announcement.

The August 17 bombing of the Erawan Shrine in central Bangkok left 20 people dead and more than 120 injured.

On Saturday, police arrested a man from an apartment in Bangkok’s outskirts and seized bomb-making equipment. More bomb-making materials were found in a second apartment during a separate raid in the nearby neighbourhood of Min Buri.

National police spokesman Prawuth Thavornsiri said the apartment in Min Buri was rented by the Thai woman who is being sought. During the broadcast, police showed her ID picture in which she is wearing a black headscarf.

He said the man is believed to have lived in the apartment.
