An unknown party fired a grenade from an M79 launcher into a parking lot within the Crime Suppression police compound in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district at 4am yesterday, damaging a policeman’s Honda Civic and a power pole.

Meanwhile, the Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for two suspects for allegedly being behind the Monday car bombing at Bangkok’s Poseidon Massage Parlour and one for shooting a rocket-propelled grenade into the Defence Ministry compound, Metropolitan Police commissioner Lt-General Santhan Chayanont yesterday.

In the Defence Ministry case, the man wanted is Supanat Hurawet, who allegedly bought the Vigo pickup truck used in the attack from Songkhla’s Hat Yai district before transporting it in a trailer truck to Bangkok. Supanat reportedly was arrested earlier for stealing a car in the jurisdiction of Provincial Police Region 1 and granted bail on March 10.
