Investigators Search For Suspect In Thailand Bombing
ResumeInvestigators in Thailand believe a man seen in a security video wearing a yellow t-shirt and carrying a backpack set off a deadly explosion yesterday. The blast at a central Bangkok shrine killed at least 20 people and injured more than 100 others. The video appears to show the man sitting on a bench at the crowded shrine. Then he takes off the backpack and walks away.
