"He tried to wave down a taxi, but he was covered in blood, and the driver refused to take him," Pansiri said. He then threw an explosive at the taxi and began running.

No taxi and no legs. Now he's really going to need a lift.

Police who had been called to the area then tried to apprehend Moradi, who hurled a grenade to defend himself. "But somehow it bounced back" and blew off his legs, Pansiri said.

A passport found at the scene of one blast indicated the assailant was Saeid Moradi from Iran

Authorities also suspect, given the man's inept grenade handling skills, he may have also been travelling under the name Max Cleeland.

Should this come under the heading,”Much Flying Jihadi Goodness?”

I always wondered what happened to The Three Stooges. Looks like they moved to Iran and had kids.

Iran will keep trying. One of these days something will happen that we won't be joking about; let's hope it's not here in the US.

Oh the humanity!

...Another Iranian was detained Tuesday night at Bangkok's international airport as he attempted to leave for neighboring Malaysia, said police commander . Authorities were interrogating the man, but it was not yet known whether he was involved in Tuesday's blasts.

Last month, a Lebanese-Swedish man with alleged links to Hezbollah militants was detained by Thai police. He led authorities to a warehouse filled with more than 8,800 pounds (4,000 kilograms) of urea fertilizer and several gallons of liquid ammonium nitrate.

OK, Swed gets "interrogated" and leads police to munitions stash. Police are "interrogating" an Iranian fleeing their country.

Anyone want to wager that the interrogation will be more "harsh" than what the USA does to terrorists in GITMO?

The Thai police are going to learn a lot from those involved. I am certain that Israel and the USA will know many more details as to what Iran was really planning.

Since well before the failed attempt of a Saudi diplomat in the USA, Iran has been exporting terrorism. It is time that their leaders pay for their crimes.

So does that mean this Iranian IED apprentice was “stumping” for the Ayatollah in Bangkok???

(”One night in Bangkok makes a stong man tremble...” Whatever happened to Murray Head???)

“he may have also been travelling under the name Max Cleeland.”

Not nice to make fun of Max Cleland who lost his legs in Viet Nam.

Well done.
