| Bangkok arms cache found |
| 2010-10-12 |
| [Straits Times] THAI police said on Friday they had recovered a rocket launcher and ammunition in a rented room in central Bangkok, where there has been a series of grenade blasts in recent weeks. The owner of the property discovered the arms cache after the tenant failed to pay the rent, said Police Colonel Ekachai Boonvisut. 'One rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher, four RPG rockets and 750 AK-47 bullets were found in a small room and have already been handed over to the ordnance department,' he said. A string of minor blasts in Bangkok and a bomb kaboom on Tuesday at an apartment on the outskirts of the capital that killed four people have added to unease about security following deadly opposition protests in April and May. |
