Blasts rock Bangkok as city hosts major security meeting



BANGKOK:  At least four people were wounded as six bombs went off at three sites in Bangkok on Friday.

The explosions were carried out as the Thai capital hosted a Southeast Asian security meeting with top diplomats from the United States, China and other world powers.

The first small explosions were heard during rush hour, just before 9 a.m. (0200 GMT) at two sites near central Bangkok while the third boom followed shortly afterwards at a government complex hosting several ministries on the northern side of the city.

Four people were wounded, the Erawan Medical Center said, adding, “none are serious and all are receiving medical attention at hospitals.”

Three of those hurt were women cleaning the street when a bomb went off.
