0BANGKOK: A military court in southern Thailand has issued a second arrest warrant for an unnamed suspect involved in last week’s coordinated bomb and arson attacks against a string of tourist resort towns, police said Tuesday. No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing spree, which hit tourist towns in the country’s south, killing four and wounding dozens, including European visitors. But Tuesday’s warrant was the first to tie a suspect directly to planting one of the bombs. “The military court in Nakhon Si Thammarat has issued an arrest warrant for attempted arson and bomb material possession,” General Srivara Rangsipramkul told reporters, referring to a town in Thailand’s south. The Red Shirts have denied any suggestion of involvement and accused the junta of using the bomb blasts to roll out a fresh crackdown against them.
