Zitat:Man injured in Thai capital blast
A foreign man has been seriously wounded in Bangkok after explosives he was said to be carrying went off, local media report.
His legs were blown off, according to police and a government spokesman.
An explosion was also reported at the house he had been renting in central Bangkok, the government spokesman said.
Last month the US embassy warned of possible attacks in Bangkok. A Lebanese man was later arrested and bomb-making materials found.
Police told the Reuters news agency that based on initial reports, they believed that the man was Iranian. Thai media also said that an identity card found nearby indicated the man could be of Iranian origin.
"The police have control of the situation. It is thought that the suspect might be storing more explosives inside his house," a police spokesman was quoted by Reuters as saying.
The man is said to be receiving emergency treatment in hospital.
The blasts in Bangkok come a day after two bomb attacks targeting Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia. Israel has accused Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah of orchestrating the attacks. Iran denies the claims.
