BANGKOK: The fingerprints on the bomb making equipment that were found during apartment raid matched a foreign man arrested over last month’s deadly Bangkok blast, Thai police said.
Investigators say the unidentified man was detained on Tuesday while trying to cross into Cambodia in a remote and rural border area.
He is the second foreigner held over the August 17 blast at a religious shrine which killed 20 people, mostly ethnic Chinese tourists.
National police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri told reporters the man’s fingerprints were found “on a bottle containing bomb materials found in a room” in the Bangkok suburb of Nong Chok.
