Thai Police Used Chinese-Made “Explosive” Tear Gas

(RTTNews) - Thai investigators have concluded that Chinese-made tear gas canisters used by the police during an anti-government protest rally last week contained a powerful explosive, possibly RDX - a substance that is used as a major component in many military explosives, media reports said.

Evidence collected by the forensic team led by Porntip Rojanasunan, Justice Ministry’sCentral Institute of Forensic Science director, revealed that tear gas canisters imported from China contained explosive components as wounds found on the body of a dead victim matched with the size of the tear gas canisters.

The team said that the presence of RDX could explain why three people were killed and several others had limbs and feet blown off.

Surasee Kosolnawin, National Human Rights Commissioner, who chaired the agency’s fact-finding subcommittee, said among the six types of tear gas used in last Tuesday’s crowd dispersal, RDX was found in three of them and all were imported from China.
