Police in Thailand on Tuesday said they have increased security at major landmarks in the capital Bangkok, at airports and in surrounding provinces following reports of bomb plots just weeks after deadly attacks rocked the country’s south.
An armed group was plotting car bomb attacks in a province near Bangkok, Thailand’s national security head said.
“The deputy prime minister instructed security agencies closely track and monitor anything unusual including things used to prepare bombs and cars,” Thawip Netniyom, chief of Thailand’s National Security Council, told reporters.
“Why target Bangkok? They probably want to make an impact,” he said, without giving details on which groups could be behind the plot
