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.
