3 bombs found in Bangkok

BANGKOK - THREE unexploded bombs were found in Bangkok and surrounding suburbs in just a few hours, one of them in front of a school and one in a shopping mall, police said on Thursday.

Last Friday, Thailand put over 460 locations across Bangkok on high alert, sending thousands of police, soldiers and city officials onto the streets in a big to increase security presence around the clock.

Royal places, key government buildings, power plants and public transport are receiving special protection from the Centre for Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES), the body set up to monitor security since unrest in April. MORE
