Thai police: Iranians were targeting individuals

BANGKOK (AP) — Thai police say that two Iranian suspects arrested in Bangkok were likely planning to attack individuals but did not have the capacity to target large crowds or buildings.

National Security Council chief Wichean Potephosree says authorities are investigating the possible targets and if there was any link between Tuesday's explosions in Bangkok and one a day before New Delhi — an attack Israel blamed on Iran.

He said Wednesday that the type of explosives found indicated they were "aimed at individuals and the destruction capacity was not intended for large crowds or big buildings."

Three explosions shook a Bangkok residential neighborhood Tuesday, leading police to a stash of explosives in a rented house and the arrest of two Iranian men.
