Another 12 were injured when at least seven explosions ripped through several downtown areas in Bangkok, in what appeared to be a coordinated attack hours before New Year's Eve celebrations at midnight (noon ET).

That BBC report seems to think it's the work of Thaksin Loyalists and not Muslim extremists like everyone would think.

CNN International on line also concurs with your statement that they believe it not to be related to Muslim Extremists. there is much more of a chance that these hand grenade throwers will be caught and knowing the Thai system will be dealt with as they deserve.

Those "foolish people" certainly were NOT a members of the Religion of Peace. Muslims would never set off a bomb!!!!

No, it must have been Chompoo farting. The only explanation really...

The bomb blasts were certainly not because of Mohammedan killers though!

As far as I understand the southern militants have never bombed any major cities before but only bombed in the southern localities. Maybe this is the beginning of a new campaign - time will tell. I just hope it is not Thaksin supporters stirring shit and maybe starting a civil war God forbid

I really hope they catch those fuckers quickly otherwise this will severely damage Thailand and its tourist industry not to mention the people themselves.

Let's all hope things just get better for 2007. I just cannot understand what these mindless fuckers stand to gain ?? Yet again innocent blood is spilt and for what ?

I was just speaking with my favorite ladyboy and she mentioned the bombings.  Like the tsunami it's something that Thais are all talking about.

But a few months agio when asking her about the coup, it seemed to be of no interest to her.  And truth is the coup didn't affect the average Thai one iota.

BANGKOK, Thailand (CNN) -- Thai authorities have canceled all major New Year's celebrations in Bangkok after at least seven explosions ripped through several areas of the capital, killing two people, police and hospital officials say.

At least 12 other people were wounded in Sunday's attacks, which appeared to have been coordinated, and took place hours before New Year's Eve celebrations at midnight (noon ET).

Major events in Thailand's second largest city, Chiang Mai, have also been canceled.

Chief government spokesman Yongyud Maiyalab warned people to be cautious but not to panic.

One of the blasts occurred at a mall near the Victory Monument in the center of the Thai capital, Reuters reported.

"There was a big bang and people started screaming and running. I saw people with blood all over their legs and faces," witness Chalermsak Sanbee, 17, told Reuters.

National police chief Gen. Ajirawit Suphanaphesat said on the iTV television network that authorities were inspecting several more locations where there were suspicious packages, The Associated press reported.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

"The bombings exploded almost simultaneously. It must have been planned," Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont told reporters while visiting some of the wounded at a hospital.

Bombings occur on a regular basis in Thailand's three southernmost provinces of Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani, where an Islamic insurgency that flared in January 2004 has killed more than 1,900 people.

But Ajirawit said the insurgents were probably not behind Sunday's attacks, AP reported.

Thailand canceled its 2005 New Year's celebrations, along with the rest of Southeast Asia and many other countries, to honor the victims of the Dec. 26, 2004 tsunami which killed more than 200,000 people -- including nearly 6,000 people in Thailand.
