BANGKOK — Thai police were questioning a Lebanese man with alleged links to Hezbollah militants as the U.S. Embassy and Israel warned Friday of a “real and credible” terrorist threat against Americans and Israelis in Bangkok. Police said a bombing had been planned and another suspect was at large.
Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung said Thai authorities received a tip before New Year’s of a planned attack, which was said to target Israelis.
“At first we were told the Palestinians were behind it, but it turned out to be the Hezbollah,” he told The Associated Press. In other interviews, he said Israel had provided the warning.
