BANGKOK BOMBS
Lie-detector tests for more suspects: source

None have confessed, says Anupong, despite police claim

Two military officers detained in connection with the New Year's Eve bombs in Bangkok took lie-detector tests yesterday, after two others were tested on Tuesday, a police source said.

The results of both days' tests will be made available to police today, and more suspects are scheduled for polygraph tests today.

One of the two officers tested yesterday was brought to Bangkok from upcountry wearing his camouflage uniform. He was identified simply as Lt-Colonel Noppadol.

Another police source said a non-commissioned military officer hurt himself badly after becoming stressed by a long interrogation session on Tuesday night. He dove head first into the wall of the interrogation room in Lop Buri, where he was based. All 18 suspects, including four civilians, are being held at the Crime Suppression Division headquarters in Bangkok. No criminal charges have been filed against them yet.

The injured suspect is being watched closely by police after he received medical treatment for heavy bleeding and a cut to the head.

Assistant Army commander General Anupong Phaojinda said he had viewed several pieces of evidence shown to him by police, including detonators and dry-cell batteries seized at the homes of many suspects - the same types found at many of the nine bomb sites.

Anupong said that judging only from the items confiscated at the suspects' homes, especially the batteries, he believed the police when they insisted that none of the 18 suspects were "scapegoats" - as feared by the media and the public.

"Since the police can produce evidence that can link all of the suspects with the bomb attacks, we must believe it. But whether they were directly involved or carried out the attacks themselves remains to be seen," he told a morning television interview.

Anupong dismissed news reports that the Council for National Security (CNS) had not trusted police, saying all CNS members had understood the situation facing the police investigators handling the case and national police chief General Kowit Watana.

None of the 18 suspects had confessed to being involved in the blasts, Anupong said. But that contradicted an account by a police source on Tuesday - that a non-commissioned military officer had admitted participating in the attacks.

General Saprang Kalayanamitr, another assistant Army commander and a CNS deputy known for being blunt, said he would stop commenting on the police's work hunting the bombers. He said he would give police a chance to work freely and without pressure.

However, he remained aggressive, vowing to take drastic action against any Army officer under his command found to have participated in the terrorist attacks. "I will have them decapitated and will not go to their funerals after that."
