Srivara confirm explosion at National Theatre was bomb

Pol General Srivara Ransibrahman-akul said police were thoroughly investigating the evidence, including security camera footage at the scene.
He said the probe should be finished in three days. He is the first state official to confirm that the loud noise heard on Monday night was actually from an explosion.
Srivara said the bomb was composed of potassium chlorate with a small quantity of dynamite hence no traces could be found at the scene.
“The bombers had knowledge of using an IC [integrated circuit] timer in assembling the bombs. The nature of the attack and the material used are similar to the April 5 explosion in front of the old Lottery Government Office buildings,” he said. He said he could not yet confirm if the same groups were behind both attacks.
