A taxi driver told Thai television the man had then thrown a bomb in front of his car before running off, injuring him slightly.

Thitima said police had tried to move in and arrest the man after blast by the taxi. According to the Bangkok Post, he threw another grenade at the police that hit a tree and bounced back toward him and exploded, which caused him to lose both his legs.

The blasts came a day after a twin bomb attacks targeted Israeli embassy staff in India and Georgia. Israel accused arch-enemies Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah of being behind those attacks.
The Bangkok explosions were not near the capital's main area for embassies.

A Thai doctor was quoted on television as saying three Thai people were hurt in the blasts incident, none of them seriously.

Police arrested a Lebanese man in Bangkok in January and discovered a huge amount of explosive material in an area southwest of Bangkok. The United States, Israel and other countries issued warnings of possible terrorist attacks in areas frequented by foreigners.
The Lebanese man has been charged with possession of explosive material and prosecutors said further charges could follow next week.

Too bad the bomb had not of exploded a little higher with more force. We are lucky that most of the Islamofascist nutcase terror bomb makers have only have enough sense to breath in, breath out, breathe in, breath out. Maybe we (the CIA) should give them ready made bombs with a button labeled push here if you are a stupid Islamofascist nutcase bomb maker, from the USA/CIA with love, eh?

You're seeing sympathy attacks related to MOSSAD's assassination program, not attacks by Iran.

Sympathy? nah... I see triumph of premier clandestine agency!

You're seeing MOSSAD chickens coming home to roost- but you haven't seen Iranian involvement.

Those that support assassination might care to contribute to Israel's new overseas security costs. No doubt the US of AIPAC will be taking those huge costs from the pockets of American taxpayers.

Come on moon, lighten up, it's all in good fun. Aren't you thrilled to see an Iranian terrorist blowing his legs off with his own grenade?

Personally I am happy that the Thai policemen are all in one piece and he is in three pieces. You?

What Iranian are you talking about ?
