Thailand was yet again centre stage following the recent arrests of terror suspects on 13 January after Israeli intelligence had been in contact with Thai authorities.

Thailand’s top policeman revealed that three alleged Iranian bombers were detained in Bangkok on 14 February after they accidentally set off their explosives. The group were in the process of planning an attack on Israeli diplomats.

The Bangkok blasts come just a day after two bomb attacks targeted Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia. A car bomb in the Indian capital New Delhi exploded and injured the wife of an Israeli official and two bystanders.
