Investigators identified the man caught on camera at an ATM booth just before one of two bombs went off in Songkhla as Waekoyee Taleh, a suspected sympathiser of the Runda Kumpulan Kecil (RKK) militant Islamic insurgent group. He said more information was being collected with an eye to seeking warrants, but he did not elaborate further. And in Pattani, Fourth Army commander Lt Gen Piyawat Nakwanich visited Sompit Sakolwichit, a civilian injured in a blast there on Sunday. He told her the culprits would be arrested soon. Security measures have been ramped up in business hubs, densely populated areas and state offices following the 20 sabotage attacks in Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla.
