Iranian blows off own legs in Bangkok blast

An Iranian man carrying explosives blew off his own legs and wounded four other people in two blasts Tuesday in Bangkok, Thai authorities said.

Security forces found more explosives in the assailant’s rented house in the capital, but it was not known what targets they might have been meant for, Police Gen. Pansiri Prapawat said.  One of the blasts in Bangkok damaged a taxi, and a grenade detonated as the assailant carried it down a sidewalk outside a Thai school, said Col. Warawut Taweechaikarn, a senior police officer in the district.

Photos of the wounded Iranian man showed him covered in dark soot on a sidewalk outside the school strewn with broken glass. A dark satchel nearby was investigated by a bomb disposal unit.

Pansiri said a passport found at the scene indicated the man was Saeid Moradi from Iran. Authorities in Tehran could not immediately be reached for comment.

Three Thai men and one Thai woman were brought to Kluaynamthai Hospital for treatment of injuries, Suwinai Busarakamwong, a doctor there, said.

A third blast occurred inside a rented house on the same road, busy with businesses and apartment blocks, but it injured no one.

Why is he blowing up Bangkok for? I can't think of any good reason to attack that hellhole. Assuming of course this is due to Islamic extremism and not some personal vengance gone wrong.

The target was likely the Israeli embassy there.

Aside from that, this guy is going to prison forever. It doesn't matter what his lawyers say, he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Damn! Beaten to a legless joke...

I'm sorry to hear that innocent bystanders were injured - but I'm always heartened when one of these fuckers blows themselves up.

Incidents like this are why the phrase, "Oh, shit!" was coined.

If it has something to do with extremism, then I'd wager Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat are the reason.

And I would add that Chiang Mai isn't that bad.

Well this goes on the stupid list. You would think that he would know some safety guidelines when dealing with explosives but then again he used to have legs, just he took some bombs to them.

Yeah, ok I went there.

See? This what happens when terrorists don't keep their feet planted firmly on the ground. They get a bunch a bunch of wild ideas in their heads and rush forward without thinking until everything just blows up on them, and they're left with nothing to support them.

Ok kids, how to use a grenade.
Aquire target
Pull pin
Throw
If required, "cook off" grenade, but this is not encouraged
