Thailand Arrests Suspected Shrine Bomber
09-01-2015
Thailand's prime minister says they've captured the primary suspect in the shrine bombing two weeks ago that killed 20 and injured at least 120 others.
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said authorities arrested Yusufu Mieraili, 25, near the border with Cambodia in eastern Thailand.
CCTV caught the alleged suspect on camera wearing a yellow tee shirt and toting a backpack, which he left in the midst of the carnage. Mieraili hails from Xinjiang province, home to Thailand's Uighur Muslim minority.
No one has claimed responsibility publicly for the attack.
