Life sentence for Iranian wheelchair bound Bangkok bomber

BBC News - Thailand court jails Iranians over bomb plot

So that wheelchair garnered no sympathy at all.

A court in Thailand has jailed two Iranian men for their roles in an attempted bomb plot in the capital, Bangkok, in February 2012.

The two men said they were innocent, but the court found them guilty of charges that included illegal possession of explosives.
The men were detained after a huge explosion accidentally damaged the house they were staying at.


One man had his legs blown off after he tried to throw a bomb at police. The two were among six suspected of involvement in the bomb plot after the accidental blasts in the Ekamai area in central Bangkok.
The two defendants were part of what Thai officials believe was a team sent to Thailand to target Israeli diplomats in Bangkok.

The blasts came a day after two bomb attacks targeted Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia. Israel has accused Iran of orchestrating the attacks, a charge which Iran denies.

Another suspect was arrested in Malaysia and is fighting extradition to Thailand.

Saeid Moradi, 29, who lost his legs in one of the explosions, was given a life term for charges that included attempted murder.
He was also found guilty of carrying and using explosives which caused the destruction of property, the court said. Moradi said he was carrying the explosives to dispose of them.

Mohammad Khazaei, 43, who was detained at the airport in Bangkok, was given 15 years for possession of explosives.
He said he was not a militant and only met Moradi at an airport in Tehran, Iran. The lawyer of the two men said he would consult with their families to work out whether they would appeal against the court's decision.

I guess the judge decided he didn't have a leg to stand on

Sorry but someone had to say it

Is this the religous Islamic crew that spent a week in Pattaya living it large with girls and alcohol before totally fcuking up why they were sent there in the first place ?
The Ayatollohs aint gunna be impressed with their investment on this trip.
Israel 1 - Iran 0.

The BTS and Metro are a nightmare for the abled body with poor signage and limited disabled access.This to be fair is not unique to Thailand but a brief glance at the street furniture and illegal vendors would make much of Bangkok inaccesible in a wheelchair.

Regardless of price UK trains have come a long way in this respect

These jokers were not sent by the Iranian government,they were just too stupid to be Iranian agents I believe. No Iranian agent is going to blow up the house where they are staying and then blow his own legs off. The Iranians have a history of well planned and executed attacks,they do not employ clowns like these guys.

[Troy]

I guess its too late for him to leg it...won't be shinning it up the drain pipe either.

Might as well get legless on a few bevvies before wheeling'n'dealing in the Bangkok Hilton.

Chucking that grenade only for it to bounce off a car back to where you're standing

Imagine those moments when he must have looked down at it and thought ''fuck''

[barbaro]

Chucking that grenade only for it to bounce off a car back to where you're standing

They must have had great training.

[Cujo]

I'm not impressed, he should have got compensation for the loss of his legs and a council house and disability benefits.
I'm very dissapointed in the Thai government. Have they no respect for this mans dignity and human rights?

This was the intended 3rd. attack against Israeli interests overseas in as many days, i am not a genius but it came after the killings of the atomic scientists working on the bomb that we all know will end of the world as we know it.
You are suggesting that it was a rogue Iranian team ?, by the way can you tell us of the well planned executed ops. that the Iranian clowns have done well ?, i cannot remember even one.

[wasabi]

Iran captured these Black ops Royal Navy attackers 23 March 2007

Obviously you cannot remember one because you know nothing about the subject. Try the bombing of the American marines base in the Lebanon in the 1983..very successful.

scientists working on the bomb that we all know will end of the world as we know it.

Don't be so silly.You have been reading too many Israeli newspapers or are an American.

^ It was the 2nd failed attack by Iranians in Bangkok

A group of Iranians was alleged to have planned a truck-bomb attack on the Israeli Embassy in Bangkok in 1994. The plan failed when the truck was involved in a traffic accident en route to the embassy. The driver fled the scene and the truck was towed away by the police, who only discovered the bomb three days later.

[wasabi]

According to Israel and U.S.A this nation Iran is a threat to Israel,a very big threat.Well according to the posts on here,they screw up in attacks. What next,the nuclear bomb they make explodes at home

Nothing to do with the Iranian government, it was the same guy who did the 1993 world trade centre bombings,he was Al Qaeda. He later bombed a shrine in Iran.

Hmmmm, so your claims that this attack wasnt sanctioned by the Iranian Government because this attack failed and that the Iranian Gov carried out a successful attack 30 years ago , so the same people cannot be responsible ?
Going by that rational, people can either be successful in all their attacks or a failure in all their attacks .
Logic says that is possible for some people to be successful in their attacks and also for the same people to be failures in their attacks

I wouldn't waste your time mate, the words 'brick' and 'wall' spring to mind for this knowledgeable fellow.

[prawnograph]

while his legged mate gets ankle shackles, wheelchair man misses out; disappointed they couldn't rig something up, maybe pins through his knees to attach the chains to, for appearances sake.

[barbaro]

^ Look at that smug smile. Defense mechanism for sure.

Loser.

Simple question , does this guy look like some one who is going the spend the rest of his life in a Thai Slammer?, once the dust has settled and the "right people" have been "sugared", he will be back in Iran with no doubt a hefty military pension for "services" rendered , it happens all the time here , money buys "justice " or should I say "Thai justice" which is not quite the same as we in the West know it

Complete waste of time Fluke , The Godfather MK2 thinks his beloved Iranian Islamic crackpots that were in power then were infallible , so any mistakes made by them and their "Islamic cannon fodder" make it impossible for the Iranian Govt to be involved , and in truth thats all he can produce by way of evidence that they was not involved up their necks

[Pragmatic]

disappointed they couldn't rig something up

Square wheels would have taken his smile away.
