Army Commander in Chief Gen Anupong Paochinda on Thursday is defiant over using the ineffective GT200 bomb detector, saying his men on the ground confirmed the efficiencies of the device.
This might be unable to be explained scientifically but I tell the truth.
Lining up in the same press conference were senior military officers including from explosive ordnance disposal units and procurement departments who expressed their view on the efficiency of the GT200 bomb detector.
The confirmation came on Thursday although the Science Ministry's testing panels concluded that the device did not work.
Citing that K9 dog squad is better than the device, Prime Minister Abhisit has instructed security agencies to stop buying the device and asked them to review the device operations.
"The scientific test proves it does not work. We have to believe the test which goes the same line with the result in foreign countries," he said.
The United Kingdom has banned the export of the device after BBC's investigative reports clearly showed that the GT200 cannot work.
