Police release name of Bangkok bomber

The man captured on security footage at the Erawan Shrine bomb attack was named by authorities as Mohamad Museyin. A Bangkok court issued an arrest warrant for a man in a yellow T-shirt, who police say is a foreigner, according to a Times report. Investigators are focusing their efforts on budget Bangkokhotels in the Sathorn Road area where they believe the suspect stayed. Motorbikers and tuk-tuk (motorised pedicab) drivers who dropped off and picked up the man before and after the bomb blast have been questioned by police, according to The Australian. Police quizzed staff at the Niagara Hotel and also copied the guest records. The hotel is next to the motorcycle taxi rank where two drivers say they gave several lifts to a man resembling the alleged bomber earlier this year. IBTIMES
