Police nab a man for making false bomb alert
Police arrested a man on Thursday for making a bomb hoax in Thaphra district. The suspect became the first suspect arrested after dozens of bomb hoax were made following the New Year's Eve's bombings.
Prapassorn Pornsurin allegedly confessed he did the bomb hoax because he did not like the coup that ousted his favorite premier, Thaksin Shinawatra, and because he was drunk. Police claimed Prapassorn confessed that he used his mobile phone to telephone the 191 emergency call on January 3 to claim that an explosive was planted in Thaphra police station and would go off at 9pm. Bomb squads were deployed to the police station to search for the explosives, but no bomb was found. Police then asked the 191 operation to trace the caller of the call and found that the caller was allegedly Prapassorn. He was arrested from his rented house in Chomthong district on Thursday. He allegedly told police that he did not like the coup and he was drunk when he made the telephone call to the 191 unit. The Nation
