Bangkok bomb attack: Suspect confesses to having delivered bomb to man in yellow shirt
Yusufu Miraili (25) that is detained at the border with Cambodia has confessed to manufacturing the bomb used at the Erawan shrine. Yet he says he did not plant the bomb. He merely handed it over to the man in the yellow shirt who detonated the bomb.
Mieraili bought the materials for the bomb 'on behalf of someone' from shops in Min Buri. He fabricated the explosive in his room in Nong Chok. On the day of the attack, he delivered the bomb to the man in the yellow shirt at Hua Lamphong station. Miraili says she has never met the man before. His confession matches CCTV footage from Min Buri.
Police say he was also near the Erawan Shrine when the bomb exploded there. Miraili was carrying a Chinese passport when he was apprehended. It is unclear whether it concerns a real or fake passport. He was said to have been born in Xinjiang, the region where the Uighurs live.
Mieraili would have decided to make a confession because he does not want to be extradited to China. He wants to stand trial in Thailand. The man also said that a group of ten to twelve people are involved in the bomb attack.
Since yesterday, the police are looking for two new suspects: a certain Abdullah Abdulrahman and an unidentified man. Both were tenants of rooms 412 and 414 in the Pool Anant apartment complex in Nong Chok, where components to make a bomb were found. A composite drawing of the first man has been circulated.
Police chief Somyot has slammed the heads of the immigration police at the border with Cambodia. Somyot blames them for allowing the suspects in because they illegally allow foreigners to enter Thailand for a fee.

I'm glad he was arrested, that's more pleasant here in bang cook.
The update info posted above, apparently from the Bangkok post (source reference) again gives reasons for thought. In terms of perpetrator information, it is apparently a co-perpetrator who manufactured the bomb and handed it over to the installer who in turn would have detonated the bomb.
In this context, the co-perpetrator is just as guilty as the placer by performing punishable enforcement acts and a long prison sentence is appropriate. Of course he knows who the person in the yellow t-shirt is. Perhaps the police will come up with evidence for this later.
The fact that there are still doubts about the authenticity of the passport, which shows that he is a Chinese Uyghur, contradicts the fact that the suspect allegedly stated that he would not be sent to China. Apparently it is a Chinese and the passport is real and genuine, why else would he be so concerned.
The chiefs of the immigration police on the border of Cambodia have been slammed.
Apparently they knew or were involved in the illegal admission. What money does not mean.
I also understand that transfers will take place or have already taken place.
Put a corrupt official in another place and then they will continue there because there is also a lack of money and moral awareness.
Well, the story continues. The last surprise will not have happened yet.
It has not been said that he knows the perpetrator in the yellow shirt.
He may well have been a member of another cell.
And possibly they all have a fake passport and a fake name.
The perpetrator in the yellow shirt will probably not have been the client either.
He prefers to remain anonymous and probably does not take any risks himself.
If he was also at the Erawan Shrine, that means he knew exactly what was going to happen with the bomb.
By the way, if it is the Uighurs, it seems to me that there is a good chance that they will be misled and abused by third parties.
