Bangkok Post, BANGKOK, Jan 27 (TNA) тАУ A blast apparently aimed at a commercial building housing Ministry of Justice offices on Chaeng Wattana Road exploded Friday afternoon, injuring three persons. Apparently set off by remote control, a small C-4 device estimated to have weighed about one pound exploded at around 12:30 p.m. in Nonthaburi's Pakkret district on the outskirts of Bangkok. Initially police assumed the explosion was aimed to destroy the Software Park Building, which houses several offices including that of the Justice
Ministry.
Exploding near the Software Park Building, the blast caused damage within a 5-metre radius, wounding three passers-by, including Kittisak Wangdee, 41, Saowalak Tangjitwattana--a justice ministry employee--and another man as yet unidentified. Mr. Kittisak received multiple wounds at the back of his head, a hip and a leg and was taken to Krungthai Hospital for treatment.
