The Thai government has issued a warning to the public about possible attacks on politically relevant locations in September.

Acting Government Spokesperson Panitan Wattanayagorn said of yesterday’s M-79 grenade attack at the National Broadcasting Television station in Bangkok that the security situation is being closely monitored by security authorities.

However, Panitan commented that if the grenade was fired from an expressway or a tollway, it would be very difficult to catch the attacker because of the high-speed traffic.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has ordered that the investigation include a review of the tapes recorded from all CCTV cameras installed around the area, and to beef up security at public and politically related locations.
