U.S. Warns of Possible Terrorist Threat in Bangkok
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The U.S. embassy in Bangkok warned Friday of a possible terrorist threat against tourists in the Thai capital, urging its citizens to exercise caution in areas popular with foreigners.
"Foreign terrorists may be currently looking to conduct attacks against tourist areas in Bangkok in the near future," it said in an emergency message posted on its website.
"U.S. citizens are urged to exercise caution when visiting public areas where large groups of Western tourists gather in Bangkok," it added.
The Thai government said that it had been informed by the United States that a pair of suspected Muslim "terrorists" had entered the kingdom.
"The U.S. contacted us last night about two terrorists who entered Thailand and plan terrorist activities," Thai Defense Minister General Yutthasak Sasiprapha told Agence France Presse.
"Our intelligence officials are working closely with the U.S. and following the terrorists' movements closely. I believe we will arrest them tonight," he added. "For Thai citizens, there is no need to announce any warning because it will cause panic and will affect our tourism."

Seems to me that this is a non-story. Most likely a couple of Lebanese guys that belong to the Hezbollah party when on vacation to Thailand.
The US, on the behest of Israel over many years now classify Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation and the membership of this party terrorists. There was a time when Hezbollah membership used to vacation in the US.
Israel murdered an Iranian scientist and Israel is trying to instigate conflict by ratcheting tensions. The scientist murder ploy is part of this stirring and another ploy is to describe Lebanese vacationing abroad as terrorist.
Israel has spies in the Lebanon and one of these spies must know the Lebanese men arrested in Thailand hence their arrest. The Thai police also know the Israelis and their obnoxious and diseased tourists. The Thai are not convinced and are merely going through the motions.
