Authorities are urging their Iranian counterparts to send over the two women who were allegedly linked to the Valentine's Day explosions in Bangkok to face criminal charges, Deputy PM Yuthasak Sasiprapha said Thursday.
However, he said, Tehran has not responded yet. Yuthasak did not provide details on the identities of the two women, nor did he confirm if one of them was Leila Rohani, who has been heavily linked with telling evidence produced by police and is now reportedly in Iran.
Yuthasak said Malaysia had allowed the Thai side to interview Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, one of five identified suspects.
“Malaysia has not denied to hand this suspect over to us,” he added, referring to reports that Malaysian authorities would “take care of Sedaghatzadeh” themselves.
