Thai army: 41 bombs seized from militants were made in Malaysia

41 homemade bombs seized in southern Thailand’s Takbai district several days ago were produced in neighbouring Malaysia and meant for attacks after Ramadan.

This was according to the Thai Army, which concurred with a statement by the Narathiwat police several days ago, on the bombs’ origin.

According to Fourth Army Region commander Lt Gen Piyawat Nakwanich, the home-made bombs were meant for use in “staging attacks” by militants after the fasting month of Ramadan.

“From our investigations, we found that the bombs were smuggled in from Malaysia,” he said.
