Urgent: Suspect arrested in Bangkok with bomb making equipment
Police arrested a Turkish man at a rented room in Bangkok's Nong Chok district Saturday afternoon and found a lot of bomb making tools and materials.
The arrest was made after about 100 police and troops surrounded the apartment at at 1:30 pm.
Among the matterials, police found 0.5mm-diameter ball bearings that were the same type with the bombs that exploded at the Erawan Shrine and the Sathorn pier on August 17 and 18.

What I've been thinking is that this piece from the NATION might have more flash than anything else. As time passes the pressure is on the police to come up with an arrest or at least a suspect is in creasing. As is the pressure on the media to come up with something. Then a Turkish guy with ball bearings in his apartment is found and, ah ha....
Of course my hope is that this isn't just a set up but really part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
