Bangkok bomb aftermath: What we do and do not know

Thailand's prime minister has called the bombing which killed at least 22 people in Bangkok on Monday the "worst ever attack" on the country.

The ruling military junta claimed on Tuesday that it had identified one suspect, believed to be from an "anti-government group based in Thailand's north-east", from CCTV footage taken near the blast.

Sofia Mitra-Thakur, reporting from Bangkok for the Independent, gives this background on Thailand's political climate:

Although Bangkok has experienced a period of relative calm since last year’s coup, there has been some tension in recent months, with the junta, which took power in May last year, making clear that it may not hold elections until 2017.

The last major bombings in Bangkok occurred on New Year’s Eve at the end of 2006, when a series of bombs at celebrations killed at least three people and wounded dozens.

Those bombings occurred just three months after a military coup toppled Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and there was speculation that his supporters carried out the attacks in revenge.

However, the bombings were never solved. Attacks are more common in southern Thailand, where a Muslim insurgency has been flaring for several years.
