A Thai police officer who was investigating the scene said: "The explosive is a table tennis bomb supposed to be triggered by a timer".

"The bombing took place before the keynote address by Pompeo, who will attend the Foreign Minister's meeting," said the Bangkok Post, "which seems like a symbolic attack to embarrbad the government in important meetings." However, he added, "this does not seem to be a cause of mbadive losses".

A spokesman for the government, Narumonpin Yoshinwat, urged local media to "avoid speculation about the antecedents and motivations of terrorism." "The security measures have been strengthened," he told the population not to panic.

Thai police arrested two suspects and found two fake bombs in front of the police headquarters near the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Conference the day before, local media reported.
