Bomb scare in Sa Kaew after woman leaves bag in city hall car park

A security official spotted the suspicious-looking bag beside an Energy Ministry pickup truck at 5am and alerted police.
Bomb disposal officers rushed to the scene, joined by Sa Kaew governor Klanarong Pongcharoen and his deputy Thammasak Ratanathanya, and officials from other agencies.
The bomb disposal team quickly established that the bag contained only clothing.
Later, the bag’s owner, Nimnual Naphotong, turned up at the city hall to apologise to the governor for causing the bomb scare.
She said she was leaving the city hall after attending a business seminar and placed the bag behind their pickup but forgot to put it inside when she drove off.
