Bombmaker, or real fighter for democracy?
With an active red-shirt supporter implicated in the latest and deadly bomb blast in Nonthaburi, the bruised image of the red-shirt movement has taken another serious blow. So has the Puea Thai Party.
The opposition Puea Thai Party can issue as many denials as they wish, telling the world that the party or the red-shirt movement, officially known as the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), had nothing to do with the deadly bomb blast at an apartment building in Nonthaburi on Tuesday night.
Four people were killed and nine injured in the latest explosion.
But there is one undeniable fact that the party may feel too embarrassed to admit – that the tenant of room 202 of Samarn Metta Mansion, the room where the bomb went off, was identified as Samai Wongsuwan, a native of Hang Dong district in Chiang Mai and a known red-shirt supporter.
