Tea Devereaux 1st period: Bangkok Bombing

Summary: Bomb explodes inside tourist attraction area, Erawan Shrine killing at least 20 and injuring more than 120 people. The police have arrested a suspect on August 29th. The man was arrested at his apartment in a Bangkok suburb and was suspected of being involved in the second bombing that happened the next day. However, this is not the same man that was on the surveillance camera and sketches that the police were given, but they do believe that the unknown man and the arrested man are part of the same network. In his home police have found fake passports and believe that his two Turkish passports may be artificial as well. Many investigators, military forces, and police are on the case.
Analysis: This is very big threat to Bangkok, the real question is why inside of a shrine? Does the reason of the attack have to do with religion, was it a terrorist attack? These are questions we may never be able to answer. The fact that this is a big tourist attraction makes it a perfect target, depending on the reasoning it is the best place to target one place with many people, literally two birds with one stone. Though the police are on the case this can still be only one of many, which makes investigation even more tedious because as the police have mentioned, they haven't found the guy that everyone else actually suspected. So, the real problem is trying to find everyone involved and stopping any further activity before anything gets worse and out of hand.
