POLICE say a third Iranian suspect sought after explosive blasts in Bangkok has been arrested in Malaysia.
Yesterday's statement from Malaysian federal police said Masoud Sedaghatzadeh was being investigated for terrorism-related activities linked to the blasts in Thailand's capital a day earlier.
Spokesman Ramli Yoosuf said police could not give further details about where or how he had been arrested or whether Sedaghatzadeh would be extradited.
Thailand says the three men tried to flee when explosives detonated by mistake in a home they rented. One man was seriously wounded and another was arrested in Bangkok.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials ramped up accusations that Iran was launching covert attack plots, saying "sticky" bombs found in the house rented by the Iranians were similar to devices used against Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the violence, while Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast called the allegations "baseless" and said Israel was trying to damage his country's relations with Thailand and fuel "conspiracy" theories.
Thailand's government was struggling to piece together what the three Iranian men were plotting when a cache of explosives detonated in their home in Bangkok's busy Sukhumvit Road area on Tuesday.
