A series of explosions rocked a residential neighborhood in Bangkok on Tuesday, February 14, leading Thai authorities to a cache of bombs in a rented house and the capture of two men carrying Iranian passports, The New York Times reported. Thai officials said that two other suspects, whom they believed to be Iranians, were being sought, and that one of them had fled to neighboring Malaysia. The reported nationalities of the two captured suspects raised suspicions that they were part of a terrorist campaign by Iran and the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hizballah aimed at Israeli targets. Thai authorities said on Wednesday that the type of explosives found in the house could be used to “target individuals.” The events in Bangkok came a day after Israeli diplomatic personnel were targeted by bombers in the capitals of Georgia and India. “The attempted terrorist attack in Bangkok proves once again that Iran and its proxies continue to perpetrate terrorism,” said Ehud Barak, Israel’s defense minister. State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the episodes in Thailand, Georgia and India “come on the heels of other incidents that clearly had links back to Iran.”
