Guest fountainhall Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 This is just been announced in the last couple of hours. I'll not comment on the "affect our tourism" comment, but I am sure my views will accord with those of most readers. The US has warned its citizens in the Thai capital, Bangkok, to be on the alert over a possible terrorist threat. Its embassy in the city said US citizens should "exercise caution when visiting public areas where large groups of Western tourists gather". Thai Defence Minister General Yutthasak Sasiprapha said the US had warned Thai authorities that two suspected Muslim "terrorists" had entered the country. But he told the AFP news agency a general public warning was not needed. "Our intelligence officials are working closely with the US and following the terrorists' movements closely," he said. "I believe we will arrest them tonight. For Thai citizens, there is no need to announce any warning because it will cause panic and will affect our tourism." http://www.bbc.co.uk...d-asia-16543447 Quote
