Bangkok, August 18 (RHC)-- In news from Thailand, at least 20 people have died after a bomb placed inside a Hindu shrine exploded Monday night in the capital Bangkok.
The Erawan Shrine is a popular tourist destination. Authorities have called it a deliberate attack on civilians. The bombing is the worst in a series of explosions that have rocked Thailand since the military seized power in a coup last year.
Authorities are now hunting for a suspect identified on surveillance video. Police reported a second explosion in Bangkok this morning, with no injuries.
