Iranian bomb suspect takes part in Bangkok crime re-enactment

Mohammad Hazaei, an Iranian national who was arrested at a Bangkok airport shortly after a series of explosions in the Thai capital on Feb. 14, faced further questioning and took part in a police re-enactment on Monday, the European Pressphoto Agency reports.

Israeli officials have said they suspect a link between blasts in Bangkok and two earlier incidents in Georgia and India. Israel accused Iran of being behind attempted attacks against its diplomats in those two countries.

      There were 3 or 4 terrorists involved. One is being held in Malaysia where he escaped to.One is in a hospital where without legs he will go on trail for terrorism .This one here will also face the music of Isllamic terrorism done in the name of Allah and the phony clerics in Iran.Thailand is very serious about Islamic terrorism.Apart form the crazed Iranians infiltrating their country., they have a a VERY brutal Isalmic terrorist organization in the south These demon Iranians can never be let loose again. Best put them with other commonr murderers .Don´t put them with the Thais Muslim terrorists. where they can plan more attacks Iran has denied that they were responsible for the terrorism even though they got caught red handed with suicide vests, Iranian passports. etc.Iran will let them swing. . They are now worthless to the perverted ayatollahs.This is just the tip of the iceburg of Iranian terrorism.I personally saw the sites in Buenas Aires where Iran and hezbollah mass murdered hundreds of Argentinians in 2 huge bombing.The Iranian defense minister is under an immediate arrest and detain order from Interpol. for his involvement,This is the reality of this nazi type crazed regime in Iran!!

        An Iranian terrorist murderer, retracing his footsteps, must ultimately end up back in Tehran. That's where the trail started. Ahmadinejad and the ayatollahs have learned how to play the game.....simply deny the obvious. Their time is comng, and its coming from several directions. Boom.

          Thailand is conducting an open and comprehensive investigation of suspects and evidence. Iran accuses Israel's Mossad of the assassinations of it's scientists, yet they have produced no evidence or interviews to support their accusations.

          I understand that Iran would have their suspicions, but before pointing fingers they need to put forward some evidence. Iran has other regional enemies with equal motivation to stop thier nuclear program. Any time something goes wrong in Iran, they immediately blame the evil, all knowing 'zionists'.

          I wouldn't rule out Mossad, but I would rather investigate the facts before firing accusations, or even worse, trying to get revenge in a 3rd uninvolved country like Thailand. Iran will only add to its list of enemies.

          Even more important for Iran, they need to back away from building the bomb. It will cause far more problems for them than it will solve.

          I agree Iran needs to back away from it s Nuke, but to be fair.. no one in the middle east should have nuke including Israel, the middle east is a hot spot and it s highly risky for any one there to have nuke.

          if Israel can possess Nuke so others! no one trust Israel because for over 70 years they have shown no respect to the UN Sanction / they keep building over occupied land not including the brutality and the massacre committed against Palestinian civilians, Hamas comes and fire rockets over Israel so they can stop stealing land and Israel uses that against them to show the world how evil they are..to delay the peace process.. but in reality Israel is the one triggring this whole mess!

          Israel have the power to solve this conflict but they choose not, they rather steal more land because no one in the world can take action against their wrong doing because every one is affraid of US good close allies of Israel.

          in another word.. whos got the power today can rule

          Iran has strongly denied any involvement in the latest terror incidents in India, Georgia and Thailand, as well as the alleged bomb plot against the Saudi diplomat in Washington. There is plausible credibility in Iran’s denials. What would Iran gain from such action, only grief and trouble? This is especially true with regard to India and Thailand. Both Asian countries have become major trading partners with Tehran in recent years. India, along with China, is Iran’s biggest customer for its vital oil industry. Thailand is of growing importance as a trading partner with Iran for oil, mining, heavy industry, services, technology and agriculture especially after both countries set up a joint business council five years ago.

          For Iran to carry out such attacks, as is being claimed, would be like shooting itself in the foot, particularly because both Asian countries have refused to join in the US-led campaign to isolate Iran economically and diplomatically.

          Put the other way round, it is much more in the interest of Washington and Israel to destabilize relations between Iran and its Asian partners. The repercussions from the blasts in India would appear to be having
          that desired effect.

          You have to got be joking. What do they have to gain? To show that they can not be contained and can strike any where at any time. That's what terrorist's do and what Azmananutjob was touting recently.

          Previous articles stated that the Thai police do not believe the attacks were not planned to be carried out in Thailand. The targets in India and Georgia were Israeli which is no coincidence. So your insinuation that carrying out these attacks "would like shooting itself in the foot" are laughable. As long as they deny it and are not proven to be the ones that were behind it; relations would not be affected what so ever.

          You buy into Iran's conspiracy theory defense; hook, line and sinker.

          Kirany and Maxeemas, I wonder if we could trace your posts back to the IRNA Mullah Damage Control Office for Recently Caught Red-handed Iranian National Terrorists. Or maybe to the Republican Guard branch.

          I'm sure your claims may gain some credibility with the mentally insane, or maybe with the same group that claims a US and Israel combined consipriacy are behind the 9/11 WTC bombings, but in reality it is much more likely that Iran has planned these attacks as part of a retaliation for Israel's involvment in killing the nuclear scientists in Iran.

          Iran's denial in these attacks holds about as little credibility as Israel's denials in the scientist attacks, which is none in both cases.

          bhaskie : I am not insane but I look at things from every eagle to see what makes since and not! and why? and I know it s hard to prove anything especially when dealing with countries!

          I am been open just like you been open, it doesnt make us wrong or right because you dont know and I dont know what s really going on between both sides and what goes on behind the stage and whos responsible for what goes on..

          I am not a big supporter of Iran neither Israel but in my opinion both think evil and do evil things and I am not on any one side but it effect us here in US because even if Israel is wrong we still have to support them no matter what! even if we have to support Iran it would be the same! I dont trust any one of them and if you ask me? I see both Israelis and Iranian every day and both are not easy to deal with and you cant trust any one.. enough what we see here! we dont want to even support them outside in their country to kil each other! I am against killing each other and I wish I could offer my self instead / sacrifice myself for every one to stop killing each other if it helps, but I know it wont help and it wont do anything or have any effect on them because both side hate each other enough that there is no place for good in their heart any more!

          So add it up. Bomb teams with proven US/Israeli assassination expertise and methodology; target countries that are major Iranian partners; desired effect of further isolating Iran internationally; and, to cap it all, a long sought-after pretext for Israel to attack Iran with America’s blessing. When logic and facts coincide like this, it’s usually more prudent to engage in reason than to indulge in lurid claims.

          . Missiles have been spread amongst Washington’s Oil Emirate and
          Middle Eastern puppet states. US troops have been deployed in Israel and Kuwait.

          Washington has presented this colony Israel a gift from the hard-pressed American taxpayers of an expensive missile defense system, Bullion's of our $$$ money we keep on borrowing spent for this rouge entity Israel when millions of unassisted Americans have lost their homes and their jobs.

          As no one expects Iran to attack Israel, except in retaliation for an Israeli attack on Iran, the purpose of the
          missile defense system is to protect Israel from an Iranian response to Israeli aggression against Iran.

          Juan Cole has posted on his blog a map showing 44 US military bases surrounding Iran.

          Mexeemas, so who do you blame for the International Community not being able to do anything in Syria? Obviously, YOU blame the US and Israel.

          I'm sure you would find it difficult to blame your major oil customers, China and Russia, or the Iranian puppets in the Syrian government. Forget the fact that it was China and Russia who blocked any legal move by the UN to intervene in any way in Syria, or forget the fact that it is the Syrian government that is indiscriminately killing their own people. Even the Syrians blame the Chinese and Russians.

          I've got to find a way to block comments from specific posters. It is obvious that you and Kariny are propaganda plants.

            In addition to the massive military preparations, there is the propaganda war against Iran that has been ongoing since 1979 when Washington’s puppet, the Shah of Iran,was overthrown by the Iranian revolution. Iran is surrounded, but Washington and Israeli propaganda portray Iran as a threatening aggressor nation. In fact,
            the aggressors are the Washington and Tel Aviv governments which constantly threaten Iran with military attack.

            Neocon warmongers, and Zionists such as David Goldman, compare the Iranian president to Hitler and
            declare that only war can stop him.

                It's called friendly fire and it's been happening since Homo Erectus first picked up a rock and smashed it over the head of his brother the Neanderthal.

                On 1 June 2009 an Israeli tank fired on a building occupied by Israeli troops after mistaking them for enemy fighters, killing three soldiers and wounding 20

                  Thank you for the info.

                  The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy torpedo boats, on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War.[2] The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two Marines, and one civilian), wounded 170 crew members, and severely damaged the ship.[3] At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.[1][4]

                  Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the identity of the USS Liberty.[5] Attack survivors contacted in 2007, by John M. Crewdson for a Chicago Tribune article about the attack, "to a man" rejected Israel's mistaken identity explanation.[6] Lt. Gen. Marshall Carter, the director of the NSA, told Congress that the attack "couldn't be anything else but deliberate."[6] The deputy director of the NSA, Louis Tordella, stated that the attack "might have been ordered by some senior [Israeli] commander on the Sinai Peninsula who wrongly suspected that the Liberty was monitoring his activities."[6] In May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3,323,500 (US$21 million in 2012) as full payment to the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3,566,457 in compensation to the men who had been wounded. On 18 December 1980, under threat of a congressional investigation,[7] it finally agreed to pay $6 million as settlement for the final U.S. bill of $17,132,709 for material damage to the Liberty itself plus 13 years' interest.[8]

                  I am sure the Isreali loby's in Washington made sure the US Congrass turn around paid back 100 times more money to Isreal by form of aids.

                    Am quite disgusted here with the entire lot. Guess it comes down to religion for me. Muslims, Jews - who cares. The Muslims cannot agree amongst themselves with all the factious killing that goes on within their various sects. And the Jews? Why were they allowed a homeland to begin with? Neither wants to be enculturated into the greater realm known as society. And that is where the problem lies and unfortunately my government and I are forced to deal with this childishness.
