A grenade exploded at the parking lot of the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand (NBT) on August 31, damaging several vehicles but causing no injuries in the latest in a spate of unclaimed attacks in the capital, a local media reported.
According to Panitan Wattanayagorn, spokesperson of the Thai government, the explosive device is believed to be an M79 grenade.
The Thai government has imposed a state of emergency since April 7 to deal with anti-government protests and riots of the United front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) in which 91 people were killed and 1,900 wounded, he said.
The attack was the fourth grenade explosion in five weeks in the
Thai capital, which is still rife with political divisions and under
emergency rule.
Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said the earlier attack on August 26 at King Power shopping centre wounded a security guard, which concretes the Thai government’s view to continue its state of emergency./.
