Terror suspect admits Israeli attack plan

Two men from with Lebanese origin admitted to plan a terror attack of Israeli tourists in Thailand. Their plan was to bomb a public place, where a group of Israeli’s visited the city. Both terrorists were linked to the Hezbollah, a Islamic militant group and political party based in Lebanon. They both had passports from Philippines, but they turned out genuine. Youssef Ayad also gave the police useful information about the planned attack. They tried to carry out a bomb attack against Israeli tourists and other Israeli groups on Khao San Road during Songkran. Khao San Road is a popular place among Israeli tourists.

The Hezbollah is known for their dangerous attacks especially against Israelis. The war in 2006 deteriorates the relationship between the two countries.  The fact that they tried to attack them in Thailand is even worst, because no one is expecting that in this area. The biggest problem is how these two terrorists could easily traveled to Thailand with passports form Philippines.  Luckily the police and the government could prevent the attack, but in future their has to be a better control about people who travel around the world. Another thing is that you have to find the people and groups who build bombs in Bangkok and everywhere else in the country. Overall the police and everybody else who was involved in that criminal case, made a good job to prevent the actual attack. With the information from the terrorist they should be able to find out more about terror  groups in Thailand.
