Mosque worker hurt by small explosion
A small home-made bomb exploded at a mosque in Chiang Mai's Muang district yesterday, injuring its Burmese worker, police said.
The victim was identified as Nasis Ahamad, 34, who suffered moderate injuries to his arm and hand from the explosion. Solae Sawangsiripol, a mosque official, told police that when Nasis arrived at the masjid, he found a dark object wrapped in insulating tape. It exploded when he was about to pick it up. He said Nasis also heard a motorcycle speeding away from the mosque shortly after the explosion. Police said the mosque's garage and some lights at the mosque were damaged. Lt Col Noppakhun Kiratikarnkul, a police investigator, said initial probe showed that it was likely the bomb was not thrown from outside but possibly was dropped by the victim.
