Officers summon Facebook user allegedly linked to Samui bombing

BANGKOK: Security officers have exercised powers under Section 44 to summon the person whose Facebook post suggested that there would be a violent incident in Samui, Surat Thani. The island was rocked by a car bomb explosion on Saturday (April 11).

Deputy Government Spokesman Maj.Gen. Sansern Kaeokamnerd on Sunday said security officers had brought Narin Amnongbua who posted the message on Facebook for interrogation. Mr. Narin, who had been found in Nonthaburi province, was expected to provide information that could lead to all people involved in the explosion, said the deputy spokesman. 

It was the first time that Section 44 was used to maintain peace and order after it was invoked earlier this month, the deputy spokesman added. 

Maj.Gen. Sansern stated further that Mr. Narin had given useful information on many aspects but it was too early to reveal what he had said. His information had to be verified first. NNT
