Thai police raise reward for bomber

August 21, 2015 23:19

Police are looking for a "woman wearing a black shirt" in connection with this week's deadly bombing at Bangkok's Erawan Shrine, a senior police spokesman said Thursday.

"I would urge her to come forward to provide information to police," Lt. Gen. Prawut Thavornsiri told reporters without elaborating.

Earlier, two men captured on surveillance video entering the shrine ahead of Monday's bombing turned themselves in, but it does not appear they're linked to the attack, Prawut said.

The men -- a tourist and tour guide described by the colors of the shirts they were wearing at the shrine: white and red -- were taken to metro police headquarters for interrogation, said Col. Decha Promsuwan, a police official in Bangkok. They both had been sought by police but have denied any connection to the alleged bomber, he said.

Later, Prawut told reporters it was unlikely they were involved in the blast.

At least 10 people may have taken part in the bombing, but the attack is unlikely to be linked to international terrorist groups, Thai authorities say.
