Also yesterday, starting at noon, police interviewed Nasa Vegas Hotel maid Saisunee Pudpor for 30 minutes. She had cleaned the room at the building used by Leila Rohani, an Iranian suspect believed to have returned to her home country. Saisunee reportedly said she only saw Rohani alone in the room.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongpakdee said yesterday Iran had confirmed the two male suspects arrested in Bangkok were Iranians, and that the suspects acted alone and had no ties with the Iranian government or any Iranian organisation. Iranian Embassy officials would provide consular assistance to the two suspects. Thailand sent a formal request for the extradition of a third suspect in Malaysian police custody on Thursday, Thani said, adding that the Thai police investigation had not yet determined whether the Bangkok bombings were linked to similar earlier incidents in India and Georgia.
