He said the bombers were turning to soft targets, and he had ordered tight security at hospitals, religious places and schools. Maj Gen Chalermchai Srisawat talks to reporters at his 2nd Cavalry Division in Bangkok on Wednesday. Security guards at hospitals were assigned for general supervision to prevent snatchers only," said Maj Gen Chalermchai, whose division supervises security in the area. Asked if a letter warning of hospital bombs a few days before Monday's attack was from BRN, he said that was possible.
