According to the Sunday Straits Times:
CIA questioning of captured JI Mastermind Hanabali revealed that the JI planned to attack the JW Marriott and the Conrad Hotels in Bangkok to coincide with the APEC meetings.
Well bros, keep your eyes open and watch each other's backs. Just because the head is gone does not mean that the scorpion cannot sting...

Terror is also fostered by listening to those who illicit fear by offering threats.

FM,
This is true, however similar warnings were ignored two months ago in Jakarta and the JW Marriott blew up there.
The Straits Times is not the type of paper to print just anyting; being rather conservative it usually will only print someting like this if it were accurate.
Saw this in the Jakarta Post yesterday but really did not take notice until I saw it in the Times also.
Cheers,

Yeh of course your right. I just hope that fear doesn't become part of the 'lifestyle' that we have to adhere to.

CS,
I agree with you. Not about fear, is about reality. Our local paper is not prone to flights of fancy either, and they ran the same thing with lots of supporting details. BKK Post also noted that 15 of the 20 Middle Easterners who entered Thailand under false pretense via Nong Khai last week are still unaccounted for. This is not paranoia, these people are really intent on killing those who don't subscribe to their POV.

I sure Hanabali has a number of deputies and they opreate the 'cell' system. It would certainly be a coup
if something went bang while all the VIP's were in LOS
for APEC.
But what sort of target ?
I think most bars will be closed for APEC so that in a way
rules out an attack on Nana etc. Khao San should be quiet too. The long holiday and closed bars seems a wise move and would not appear like a panic reaction
against an attack.
It is worrying that the 15-20 entering under false pretences have not been accounted for.
These psychos are clever enough to do something
that no-one has thought of.
I hope they are caught but there are many from the Middle East in Thailand now and cover would not be difficult.
Remember the film 'Day of the Jackal' with Edward Fox ?
It was very difficult to track down one man in France
who was clever enough to change his identity.

I don't know why everybody is so worried about this.
Didn't I read somewhere that the taxi drivers were on the lookout for terrorists?
If that is the case, why all the hysteria? ÝJust let the taxi drivers solve the problem.

Think anyplace with lots of civilian casualty possibilities -- also, bear in mind that just because hijacking a flying missile is now impossible in the US or Europe, that doesn't mean that they won't try something similar in BKK - worked in NY, didn't it?
They can grab a doomestic jet, or just grab a private craft, cram it full with explosives, and fly it into a hotel oor convention center during the time that they expect most people to be there.
These f_ckers don't care about their own lives, nor the lives of anyone else, so once you start thinking along the lines of a suicidal ground mole, you can pretty much pinpoint what their intentions are.
One thing's for certain - *IF* something like this were to happen in Thailand, performed by Muslim extremists, and consequently hurting Thailand - you can bet that the 5% Muslim minority in Thailand will be quickly reduced too less than 1% by the Thai majority - forcibly so...

hzink,
Yeah, it would have a telling impact on the Thai muslims. My TGF has lived in/near the Muslim section of BKK for the last year (in the Suan Luang area) and we interact with many really nice Muslim Thais there. When I visited her new apartment last month, I did my usual "kao phad gai" for beakfast down the Soi at the little Muslim Thai restaurant. Unfortunately, these people might wrongfully suffer from this kind of madness.
I suspect that if anything bad happens, the authorities will immediately sweep the area between Suk Soi 3 and 6, with a lot of deportations to follow.
