Bangkok bombings the work of JI
Ron Corben, Bangkok
The Australian
THAI intelligence agencies say operatives of the regional terror network Jemaah Islamiah were directly involved in the New Year's Eve bombings in the Thai capital that left three dead and 40wounded.
In reports seen by The Weekend Australian, the agencies say a key JI leader in Thailand's southern Narathiwat province was directly involved in the planning of the operation. The link contradicts earlier comments by military-installed Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont who said the bombings appeared to be unrelated to the violence in the south, which has claimed more than 1800 lives since early 2004.
"From the evidence we have gathered, there is a slim chance that it is related to the southern insurgency," Mr Surayud said in the early hours of New Year's Day soon after the bloodshed.
"It is likely related to people who lost political benefits," he said, referring to the former Thaksin Shinawatra administration that was ousted in a coup in September amid allegations of corruption and abuse of power and fears of street clashes.
In an interview with CNN this week, Mr Thaksin, who is now living in exile, denied any involvement with the attacks.
No group has claimed responsibility for the bombings.
The eight bombs, set in crowded tourist areas that left at least seven foreigners among the wounded, cast a pall over the city that had largely escaped violence in a year of political turmoil.
However, Thai intelligence reports draw a direct link with the southern insurgency, including JI.
The reports say a meeting in December between the head of JI in Narathiwat province and a representative from the Patani United Liberation Organisation made the final preparations. Bomb materials were to be supplied from Cambodia. "Masae Useng, the head of the Jemaah Islamiah in Narathiwat province and Ruslan Yumuraenae, the commander of the PULO Sabotage Unit had met in the (informant's) home in Kuala Lumpur towards the end of December 2006," the report says.
The meeting's purpose was to select personnel for deployment to Bangkok "where they would commit acts of sabotage aimed at intensifying the dispute between the Government and the former regime", it said. "Such attacks would provide a significant boost to Separatist Front morale and would put the Siamese infidels off balance."
The commander of the sabotage unit was Lohmueli Yusoh, alias Rusdi Pohseng, a 38-year-old former Communist Party guerilla who had received military and sabotage training in Libya in 1983.
There is now a one million baht ($35,700) bounty for Rusdi's arrest.
Ten "foot soldiers" - young insurgents - working in Thai restaurants in northern Malaysia were selected to plant the bombs.
Intelligence sources said the bombings were instigated by supporters of the former Thaksin administration during a meeting in late November on the Malaysian resort island of Langkawi.
But leading Thai forensic scientist Porntip Rojanasunan placed doubts on whether separatists were seeking to target sites outside the southern border area.

The Thaicong said "Bomb materials were to be supplied from Cambodia."
This is fucken ridiculous! The Narathiwat provice are very close to Malaysia and why would these Muslim would travel thousand of miles just to get material for bomb in Cambodia??? Beside there are thousand of the fucken Thaicong soliders patrolling long Thaicong-Cambodian border!
Thaicong theory just doesn't add up! It would nice to say that the Malyasian government has alot of involvement in helping these Muslim in Southern Thailane gaining independent from the Thaicong because the Muslim provinces in Southern Thailane was once belong to Malaysia Kingdom!!!!
The Thaicong can't control the situation in Southern Thailane and now they are looking to blame somebody!!!Why the Thaicong chose Cambodia to blame for everything? It is because Cambodia is such a fuck up country and Cambodian can't do shit even if the Thaicong continue to trash Cambodia!!!!!
Cambodia has AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave as a leader and now Cambodia has the Thaicong to interfere with Cambodia national politic!!!!!
What is the surprise here?
We all know Khmer Kroms Extremists
hated both Yuon an Siem;
Accordingly, they will be on top
off our suspects list.
Wrong usage. KK cannot be xtremist when their land was robbed. You keep painting yourself as the victim after you took their land and killed them every day.
That's the way it is -to liberate their homeland, KK must continue to carry this greatest burden to theri future generation.
I pray KK will be free.
Nope, KK land was lost in a war
with Vietnam roughly 200 years
ago. The French took it from
Vietname about 100 years ago, then
returned it to Vietnam after they
got their asses kicked by Yuon.
Now read this slowly and try to
comprehend: The French did not
took KK land from KK then returned
it to Vietnam, no sir.
They took it from Vietnam (the
owner) then return it to their
rightfull owner(Vietnam). Which is
100% legal and moral, and KK has
no legal base against that. get it?

moi28: As always the Yuan keep re-inventing the history.
Vassal of Siam then later Siem Riep and Battambang returned to Cambodia. Vassal of Vietnam Kampuchea Krom did not return but lost for good in 1949 (French Assiociated State). Yes Under the name of WAR there are loser and winner. China lost the land to Mongolian for merely hundred years, China got it back. Jews lost the land to Arab for ~ thousand of years, now the Jews got it back.
The rightful owner is KK, so what if these KK people are struggling and continue to fight until hundred or thousand years, it is their right. This earth is always or will always have WAR no matter what. Today we won the future we will lost.
I am too fortunated to have all the previlege to be born in America
the land my ancestors took from American Indian, but the more I grow up and learn about human beings I realize that my greatest nation may someday in the future be vanished or be divided , who knows? I know now that nothing is permanent. We are all like living in the animal kigdom, we're killing each others for just that and it's been like that since the human being were formed.
We are not going to live to see the end, unless we can live for thousand years, but sadly we cannot. No body knows the future, and no body knows the South or Kampuchea Krom may become an independent State free from Yuan Hanoi.
So LET the people choose their own destiny. If they want to continue to carry on their duty to liberate their homeland let them do.
If the Muslims CHAM want to get all the Muslim world ~ 1 billion to reclaim Champa then let them do.
If the Chinese wants Vietnam then let them do. All we can do is to defend ourselves, if we lose then we lose.
About Yuan kicked the US, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Without China, URSS (Russia) and King Sihanouk (Cambodia) helped, the Yuan would have been zipped -even that million of the Yuan people were killed. But if we wanted the land we could just have dropped bombs like we did in Hiroshima, then that'd be all over it. As you know we mostly believe in GOD and we do not believe in killing the innocence human beings.
I am shy when you called me Sir.
;-). It is OK you can call whatever you want. I only tell you that I am still quite young.
GOD Bless and save the UNIVERSE
Dude, you got problem.
That is not the way the real-world
work. Why are you talking about
Champa? they are gone for good.
Some of them are in vietnam and
happy just like any other
vietnamese. Some of them in Laos,
Thailand, and Cambodia are happy
just like everyone else. Did you
see any Cham people making trouble
in Cambodia like KK does?
Similarly, KK have lost their land
to Vietnam around 200 years now.
Assuming there is 25 years per
generation, this mean they have
live with Vietnam for about 8
generations now. This is almost
the age of the USA. Can you find
any French people who live in
the US for 7 or 8 generation who
feel like the french people?
of course not. It will be lucky
if they know 10 good sentences.
Moreover, do you think they want
to be French again, of course not.
Similarly, so does KK. There is
almost none of KK who can speak
Khmer or feel like Khmer today.
For you to claim that they want to
be Khmer again is out of this
world. They have fully adopted to
the environment. There are Doctor,
Lawyer, ..., or dentish. There are
only a handfull of you who want
the impossible independence back.
And it aint gonna work. Again, I
don't care what you people do, but
don't drag us into your stupid
cause. We don't want any more
and distruction, okay?
2:43 PM.
I don't think you carefully read what I wrote.
I don't waste time to make arguments which I believe in no way will be able to stop.
If you really carefully read what I wrote you would have not jumped and giving me your sloppy rebuttal.
You can say whatever you want, but humans' desires won't stop. don't you see the Palestanians and the Jews? The war begun ~ 5000 years between them until today and they still are fighting. The Jewshes lost their land for merely thousand years.
We killed each others for just land and we will continue to kill each others for the same things as long as this planet earth still is in a state of existing.
You are mad because you refuse to know the facts of human behavior.
Good luck
Well, can you just tell me what I misread?
As for the palestinian/israeli case
the difference is the palestinian
is still palestinian and they can
speak their language... . On the
contrary, The KK is no longer KK,
they are vietnameses. They can't
speak khmer. Only a small fraction
of extremist barely know anything
about Khmer.
You misread and misunderstood about humans' desires miss kampuchyon2002. You said it that those KK are no longer Khmers but Viets. Well, they are KK so they won't change their cultures KK even you force them to be YUe or Viet.
Who are you to tell them that they should be this or that.
yeah yeah the victims are xtremist but the stronger are the victims.
Just because those KK speak Yuan then what? Of course they have to speak Yuan to know what Yuan been up to.
You lie again, you lied to Khmer people and calling yourself kampuchun. Uhh.... you are very bad real bad Yuan. No wonder Khmer hate Yuan too much.
Well, I say from what I observed.
KK appeared more yuon and they
told me that they are more Yuon
than Khmer, but you can call them
KK if you want to. Name in not a
big deal to me.
LOL, what did I lied about now?
Ok KK are more Yuan than Khmers, but they are not Yuan though, they are KK with their own KK in their own land Khmer Kampuchea Krom.
Kampcuhea Krom was KK land. While the KK were fighting Yuan to get their land back, the French took it so the KK and the Yuan can live under them. The KK had their Khmer governors etc.. In 1949, the French left. It was a conspiracy French were fed by Yuan women as the Yuan usually did. All of the sudden those KK governors were removed.
During Ngo Dinh Yiem, thousand of KK were massacred. There was a Viet Monk who stood agaisnt the Ngo government poured gas and burned himself..the whole country turned into chaos. Ho chi minh realized if he did not do anything to stop, then Kampuchea Krom will be gone for good to the owner KK.
Ho chi minh decided to take a chance by joining the communist.
Joining Communist with China could Help Yue to survive or small chance that may lose. However Communist will help Hanoi to become stronger.
Ho chi minh then created a strategem "to weak the enmy must divide them" by creating Viet Cong/Khmer Viet Minh. His propaganda worked, he lured million Khmers to join him although there're Viet agents left over since French ruled in Cambodia.
Ho chi minh not only he divided Khmers but he used Khmers to kill Khmers.
..Sihanouk was fooled by..
Look what the genocide Vietnam created in Cambodia? Too much to bear.
War with words won't do any good, because KK aren't Yuan.
Correction: Lines..

KK are the courage and brave people who continue their fight for their homeland.

Joining Communist with China could Help Yue to survive or small chance that may lose. However Communist will help Hanoi to become stronger. Ho chin minh had a vision to protect his country from being annexed to China, he's looking to colonize his neighbor countries - and here his stratagem is in action causing million Khmers died and will die. At the same time China keeps watching Vietnam every move, that's why Hanoi had no choice but to cede more land to China in order to strenght Yuan troops in Laos and in Cambodia.
Ho chi minh created a strategem "to weak the enmy must divide them" by creating Viet Cong/Khmer Viet Minh. His propaganda worked, he lured million Khmers to join him although there're Viet agents left over since French ruled in Cambodia.
Ho chi minh not only he divided Khmers but he used Khmers to kill Khmers. (no one should surprise if Ho's agents living in Pol Pot and provoked the KR killed KR.) Yuan's conspiracy that caused Khmers to sufferings. No doubt about it that Pol Pot killed but at the same time Yuan's agents too, killed Khmers, and who knows how many Hun Sen killed? After all Hun Sen is still working for Yuan Hanoi.
During Ngo Dinh Yiem, thousand of KK were massacred. There was a Viet Monk who stood up agaisnt the Ngo government poured gas and burned himself..the whole country turned into chaos.
Sihanouk was fooled by Ho chi minh, and he contributed to the downfall of KK and the whole Cambodia. With all the mistakes Sihanouk made not ONCE this old Monarch has ever apologized or say SOORY to his people.
Cambodia was destroyed by only Kings and the Kings' family's members. Kampuchea Krom was never legally belonged to Yuan as some history invented by ?? because Norodom, the oldest brother became King, later King Sisowath the second brother, where was the youngest brother (whose name not in the history book) escaped to kampuchea krom after tried to overthrow his older brother from the throne failed. This unknown Prince was said to be residing in Kampuchea Krom. May be HE Lok Ta Treung Mealy can shed some light about it or may be he is afraid to say anything since the Yuan/Hun Sen are looking to chop him.
Look what the genocide Vietnam created in Cambodia? Too much to bear.
War with words won't do any good, because KK aren't Yuan.
And remember folks, Ho's plan "to weak the enemy is to divide them", is here. As you have seen in here the Yuan and Pro_yuan keep accusing KK and even separating them from their own Khmer brothers and sisters. These Yuan and the Pro-Yuan will do everything to divide Khmers -when you are splitted you will be easily to be broken.
And KK, watch your back , you may have Yuan's agents among your people. Good luck KK.
LOL, thanx for the long post, moi28.
Here's your problem: let me quote
you and don't tell me that I am
lieing.
Kampuchea Krom was KK land. While
the KK were fighting Yuan to get
their land back, the French took it so the KK and the Yuan can
live under them.
Here you clearly fighting for your
land back from Vietnam ruling.
Then the French took it.
Accordingly, when the French left,
they simply return the land to
Vietnam ruling again or the way
they found it. Where is the crime
in that? I don't think you have
a strong case against the French.
You are not rescueing anyone, but
making people suffer in the region.
Secondly, you are not the one who
kicked the French asses. It was the
Viet. So why should you get
anything for sitting on your
obese asses, huh?
I didn't kick the french because I was not born yet. But I am telling you and all my Yuan friends: Ngo, Ngoc, Tranh, Minh...Le etc.. to know the the history I've learned from.
I don't understand, moi28. What did
you Yuon friend told you?
Keep in mind that it is tough to
tell who is who in South vietnam
and you can't go by the sur name
either. Sometime a Khmer girl
marry a Yuon man and the Kid will
bear the Yuon sur name, but they
always end up learning more from
their khmer mothers because woman
live longer. That is why you have
some Yuon with Youn's sur name
mingle with Khmers very well.
This is the information age! Vietcong will have a small taste of modern technology for their aggression! The diruption in their subway or train stations! The diruption in the economic activities and they will live in fear, fear, and more fear!
If the Phillipine can live under Spain for 800 years and can still claim independent from Spain and why can Khmer Krom who only live under the Vietcong dog eater only for 200 years? ahahahahh
The Vietcong aggression must be stopped by all mean even by bloodshed! The Vietcong will pay for denying the existence of the Khmer Krom people!!!!The Vietcong are one look down motherfucker!!
