Bomb blast in Bangkok?

[harrybarracuda]

Couple of snippets:

Another Iranian was detained Tuesday night at Bangkok's international airport as he attempted to leave for neighboring Malaysia, said police commander Winai Thongsong. Authorities were interrogating the man, but it was not yet known whether he was involved in Tuesday's blasts.

Bangkok police said a passport found at the scene of the blast indicated the man was Saeid Moradi from Iran.

"We discovered the injured man's passport. It's an Iranian passport and he entered the country through Phuket and arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport on the 8th of this month," Police General Bansiri Prapapat told Reuters. (Reuters)

There are are some prime targets at stake that are important to them - Nana, Patpong, Soi Cowboy

Based upon the massacre in the UK and when bombs were exploded on public transport I fear they would of attacked a crowded BTS train if this thing had not happened.

They were going somewhere with these bombs.

I meant important targets to TD members!

Think I'll stay well clear of the Israeli Embassy in Manila for a while. Even more so given the recent successful counter-terrorist strike down South.

[Bobcock]

Bombs.... These are grenades, hardly the real deal! Sound bit like rank amateurs as opposed to organised terrorists.

Call me sick but I found the pic of him sitting up looking at the camera with no legs rather fucking funny, in fact very funny. CVNT!!

Tell that to the injured.

[helge]

Tell that to the injured.

Had it been bombs, they might not have gotten off so "lightly".

Know what you mean though

[Davis Knowlton]

^^^Found C4 in their apartment, as well, which makes pretty nifty bombs - don't need much of it for a really big bang either.

Have a look at the video where he tries for a few seconds to get up and leg it

Hey Stumpy Gimme a blowjob, its ok don,t bother to get up!!!!!

From what I understand, there are not many rapes in Thai jails. There are plenty of gays and lady boys more than willing and the cons have more things to deal with than that. I am sure the Thai prison population make up at the men's prison reflects the Thai civilian male population - 70% gay, 29% bi or thinking of turning gay and 1% real men.

[alwarner]

It's terrible that this has happened. It's not really surprising though given the south and all the whoring. Maybe they'll start looking up a few skirts round the Grace hotel area.

[Rural Surin]

I hope that nobody apart from the bombers were injured.

Forgive me if I am wrong but I can remember a general warning going out about 2 months ago about the possibility of multiple bombings in Bangkok and I also remember some geezer being arrested at the airport.

What I don't understand is why these mongrels are targeting Thailand.

Why not Thailand?
Plenty of targets about.
Well know for it's lackadaisical security.

i thought it looked like he was thinking ' fack me wheres me jeans gone? oh shit they up that tree!'

nice that the motocytaxi driver videoing it had the sense to get the jeans in the tree and have a little chuckle at the mussie cnut, i liked that

Israel blames Iran for Bangkok blasts

Israel's defence minister has accused Iran of being behind a bombing that rocked a crowded residential area of Bangkok on Tuesday.


By Ian MacKinnon in Hua Hin, Thailand

2:00PM GMT 14 Feb 2012

An Iranian man was critically injured by his own bomb in a series of blasts, raising fears he and two countrymen accomplices had planned an attack just a day after operations against Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia.

Ehud Barak said Tuesday's explosion "proves once again that Iran and its proxies continue to perpetrate terror".

He said that Iran and its Lebanese ally Hizbollah are "unrelenting terror elements endangering the stability of the region and endangering the stability of the world".

"We know who carried out the terror attacks, we know who sent them, and Israel will settle the score with them," he said.

The man blew both his legs off when he tried to escape police by throwing a grenade at pursuing officers, but it bounced off a tree and he was caught by the full force of the blast.

Two other Iranian fled the on foot and one was arrested later at Bangkok’s international Suvarnabhumi airport as he tried to leave the country. Thai intelligence and security forces continued their hunt for the third man.

Four Thais, three men and a woman, were injured in the explosions which took place in a rented house and on a busy road in the south-east of the city shortly after lunchtime.
Thailand’s foreign minister is to ask the Iranian embassy to investigate the identities of the three men to discover what they were doing in the country and whether they had any links to terrorist groups.
Last month Thai police arrested a Swedish-Lebanese man with links to pro-Iran Hizbollah militants following warnings from the US and Israel about a possible terrorist attack in Bangkok.




The man led police to a cache of bomb-making materials, 4,000kgs of urea and several litres of ammonium nitrate, but government officials said they were content with his assurances the material was being transported to a third, unspecified country, and was not planning an attack in Thailand.


Tuesday’s first blast happened at about 2pm in a house off the busy Sukhumvit Soi 71 road that the Iranian men had rented for some months. The explosion blew off part of the roof.
Neighbours saw two of the men fleeing the house, with a third man covered in blood emerging shortly afterwards carrying a black bag.
The first two men disappeared and the injured man attempted to flag down a taxi, but the driver seeing his bloodied condition refused the fare.
Outraged, the man threw a grenade at the taxi damaging the vehicle and injuring the driver.
About 100 metres along the road police who responded to the blasts tried to stop the man but he threw another grenade at officers. It hit a tree and severed his legs, leaving his black bag near a shattered telephone booth.

Bangkok’s deputy police commissioner Maj Gen Pisit Pisutsak said a passport found in the bag identified the man as Saeid Moradi, 50, an Iranian. He was being treated at Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn Hospital where doctors amputated his other leg.
A second Iranian man suspected of involvement in the blasts, Mohammad Hazaei, 42, was arrested at the airport. He was planning to board an Air Asia flight to the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur.
Thai police said they had found more explosives inside the house where the first explosion occurred and they were now trying to trace his movements, though so far they had only discovered he travelled from the southern holiday island of Phuket on February 8.
On Monday four people were injured when a motorcyclist attached an explosive device to an Israeli diplomatic car in New Delhi. Another device targeting Israeli diplomats in Tiblisi failed to explode. Israel blamed both operations on Iran, which denied involvement.
Britain urged its nationals in Bangkok to exercise caution in the light of the bombs. “You should remain vigilant, follow the advice of Thai authorities and monitor the local news,” the British embassy website warned.

You got to admire a man who willingly checks out a bag which is quite likely full of bombs, damn sure I wouldn't do that.

[chitown]

For probably 200 or so baht an hour too.

EOD personnel have nerves of steel and go through some pretty intensive training that is also psychologically challenging too.

Unsung hero's

Does that body suit protect well?

Depending on the force of the blast, not only is it scolding hot inside it is very heavy. If you notice he is low to the ground, the lower the better.

[sunsetter]

i thought your bones disintegrate with the big blast shockwaves, and that the suit is there for the big odds chance youll survive, to keep all the mush together

How come this offensive post is allowed to stand, but comments directed at his fatuous bigotry are removed?

TD has already had a shot across the bows with fears of blocking this week. Yet this fool with his sweeping statements and bloated, sensitive ego, blurts on and on.

The world's most innovative Bomb Disposal Suit, Setting new standards in personal protection for modern day EOD tecnicians, the EOD HELMET is the world's first Threat Level IIIA ballistic helmet available to military and law enforcement agencies. EOD HELMET is the only EOD helmet in the world that provides complete and absolute 360 degree protection at the stated Threat levels. The EOD BOMB DISPOSAL SUIT also employs the most advanced technology in design and state-of-the-art fragmentation-defeating materials available in the world today. Through extensive research and development spanning more than a decade in actual field tests, and the leading Bomb Disposal Suit ensemble capable of defeating record setting specifications against the number one threat faced by modern day EOD technicians... fragmentation.
The use of state of the art materials underlines goal to increase the bomb technician's survival rate by improving the fragment protection characteristics of the suit without increasing overall weight. It has been proven that the greatest threat faced in a blast situation is the threat of fragments of different sizes and shapes tearing into the human body at supersonic velocities.
The exceptional performance in the other 3 major threats faced by EOD technicians; overpressure, impact and heat. New V50 and V0 (NO PENETRATION) specifications meet US MIL-SPEC 622E, superseding the non-ratified NATO STANAG 2920.
The new EOD suit is the result of a combination of over ten years of actual field testing with the United States and the Canadian Governments. It is the product of high technology materials derived from U.S. military applications. These state-of-the-art ballistic materials, until now, have only been used by the United States Department of Defense for the protection of its personnel. These new materials have now been employed in the new lightweight chest and groin plates. These plates have achieved ground breaking V0 (NO PENETRATION) fragment defeating capabilities of ... 5471 FPS or 1667 M/S.
The use of lightweight armor materials offers the best available protection in the world today. In fact, all live IED testing is taking place at a distance of 1 to 2 meters, not at the old testing standard of 3 meters (10 feet), since military and law enforcement EOD technicians may be required to work inside a 3 meter raduis.
The most current testing data on fragments, overpressures, impact and burn protection. This EOD suit is currently being used in 49 countries around the world.
EOD Sleeve Chest and Groin Plates

Incorporating new state-of-the-art ballistic materials, has improved and set new ballistic integrity standards in Body Armor Bomb Disposal Suits. These materials have the added advantage of being lightweight while offering the highest fragmentation protection available in the world today. Chest plate 6 pounds. Groin plate 4 pounds. A velcro waist strap system securely holds the ballistic ground protector in place regardless of body position of movement. The cup provides additional fragmentation and overpressure protection to the EOD technician.

Spine Protection

An articulated spine protector is build into the rear panel of the jacket designed to prevent spinal injury in cases where the user is blown or falls on his back. Pants

The pants feature a seatless design with an adjustable high waist to fit a variety of sizes. The adjustable over-the-shoulder suspenders feature sliding shoulder pads for additional comfort and quick release buckles. Full length, heavy-duty brass zipper closures with three cinch straps on each leg are designed to hold pant legs securely in place while providing additional custom comfort for various body builds. The breakaway zippers provide the technician a quick release removal system in case of an emergency. Specially designed neoprene-coated Kevlar knee pads provide extra durability and padded knee comfort. The anti-static shoe boot features a special contoured toe flare with heel adjustment straps.
The World's First Threat Level IIIA Helmet

The innovative helmet incorporates the world's highest ballistic integrity... Threat Level IIIA (9mm 124 gr, FMJ at 1400 FPS as well as 44 Magnum 240 gr, SWC at 1400 FPS). The helmet shell is made of a lightweight ballistic fiber which has been tested and defeated fragments at 2,242 FPS, 683 M/S. The helmet's lightweight construction weighing only 6 pounds without visor and 6 pounds with visor, and its more efficient ergonomic design allows for much greater visibility and freedom of movement. The helmet interior is optimized for impact protection utilizing a MIL SPEC shock absorbing foam tested and used to prevent 50 calibur blunt trauma to the human body. The EOD tech's ability to complete the mission successully is thereby improved by reducing fatigue and neck strain while providing maximum fragmentation and impact protection.
The helmet incorporates high quality communication electronics and a more efficient forced air ventilation system. The Battery Pack and Booster system provides up to five hours of continuous operation of the ventilation system. Replacable 9 volt batteries are available on request. Additionally, all electronic communication componenets are made to US Military Specifications and standards of performance.
These improvements make the new EOD helmet the world's safest and most comfortahle helmet you can wear.
