Uighur links grow in Bangkok bombing investigation
Whilst the Thai government initially dismissed suggestions that the Bangkok bombing has stemmed from their deportation of 100 Uighur muslims back to China, evidence is mounting that they were wrong.  Yesterday the authorities announced that the ringleader of the plot is thought to have left the country the day before the attack using a Chinese passport: a Reuters report says that the man is thought to have fled to Bangladesh. Another suspect, arrested at the Cambodian border and whose fingerprints matched those found on bomb-making equipment found in a flat in Bangkok, was also carrying Chinese ID. 
BANGKOK (Reuters) - The man Thai police believe masterminded last month's deadly Bangkok bombing fled to Bangladesh the day before the attack and travelled on a Chinese passport, officials said on Wednesday.

The man emerged as a key suspect in the Aug. 17 bombing following interrogation this week of one of two foreigners being held, who police say admitted to giving a backpack with explosives to a man they are certain was the bomber.
