Police have managed to collect some fingerprints and are hunting for the suspects. While there is no clear motive for this threat, police think the device was planted to create a scenario.
Metropolitan police in Yan Nawa district and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit rushed to the embassy after being alerted that a suspicious device had been found.
There they moved the fake bomb outdoors, and put a tire over it to limit the danger. It had been found in a red plastic bag at the embassy’s nationality verification office.
The fake bomb was made to look just like a real one, with an alarm clock and 2 PVC pipes plus electrical wires tied together with black tape but within there was no explosive.
