Police: Number of wounded upgraded to 9 after downtown Bangkok bomb explosion
08:05 PM Jul 25, 2010
BANGKOK (AP) - Police say that at least nine persons were wounded when a bomb exploded at a bus stop in downtown Bangkok.

Police Maj. Gen. Anuchai Lekbamroong, at the site of the explosion Sunday, declined to speculate whether the bombing was related to Thailand's political turbulence in the wake of bloody protests in the Thai capital earlier this year.

The bomb exploded shortly after voting ended in a Parliamentary by-election which pitted a government candidate against a leader of the so-called Red Shirts who staged the protests which were suppressed by the army in mid-May.

here's the bkk post http://bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/187 ... in-bangkok (http://bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/187845/bomb-injures-8-in-bangkok)

Close to Babylon, pinnacle and Malaysia hotel...

Not at all. The Bangkok Post story you cited clearly says it was outside Big C Ratchadamri, which is miles away from Soi Ngam Duplee, where Babylon, etc are. Ratchadamri Road is where the gaping hole in Central World is.

This could be very serious. The police should be on this and hopefully the people who were not hurt are ok.

Bangkok Post is reporting 1 person dead now. I was at Babylon at the time and hear no explosion (but there were suspicious sounds emanating from the cubicle next door). IIRC, the Big C where the explosion occurred is famous place for gay cruising in its toilettes. This bombing is a very sad development.
