One of the latest suspects was identified as Abdullah Abdulrahman and his warrant was issued based on an Identikit sketch. The other suspect’s name is not known and his warrant was issued based on CCTV footage.

Both men, whose nationalities are unknown, were charged with illegally possessing explosive materials. 

Pol Lt Gen Prawut said police had evidence and witness accounts showing the men stayed in rooms 412 and 414 at the Pool Anant apartments in Nong Chok district, where police arrested the first bomb suspect, Adem Karadak, on Aug 29.

Announcement of the new suspects brings the total number of persons of interest in the case to 12, 10 of whom remain at large.

Meanwhile, two Indian nationals reportedly seen talking often with Erawan bomb suspect Yusufu Mieraili were detained when a team of police and soldiers again raided the Maimuna Garden Home Apartment building in Min Buri district on Sunday, a police source said today.

Pol Lt Gen Prawut said Wanna "Maisaroh" Suansant, 26, the only Thai suspect, so far has not contacted police to arrange an interview.

Ms Wanna reportedly denied involvement in the Aug 17 attack on the Ratchaprasong intersection shrine and failed Aug 18 Sathon pier bombing.

After a warrant for her arrest was issued Aug 31, she claimed she was in Turkey and would report to Thai police if she was given a free airline ticket to return to Bangkok.
