Attention focusses on Turkish "Grey Wolves" for Bangkok bombing
Thai police believe that they have made a major break-though in their hunt for the authors of the recent Bangkok bombing, having arrested a man found in a flat in a predominantly Muslim area of the city. &nbsp;A number of false passports and bomb-making equipment for devices similar to the pipe-bomb used in the attack on the Erawan shrine were found in the five room flat. However the police are saying that the man arrested was not an 'international terrorist', but someone with a personal grudge.&nbsp;The Thai police promptly&nbsp;rewarded themselves&nbsp;with the cash funds for having made the arrest "without any help".&nbsp;However since that arrest, attention started to focus on a radical&nbsp;Turkish group called the Grey Wolves (Mehmet Ali Agca, who shot Pope John Paul II, was a member). It is thought that the Grey Wolves have recently taken up the cause of the Chinese Uighur Muslims, a number of whom were recently extradited from Thailand back to China. &nbsp;
Bangkok: Neo-fascists from a Turkish terrorist group called Grey Wolves have emerged as key suspects in the Bangkok bombing after the arrest of a man, believed to be Turkish, in the Thai capital with bomb-making material.

The group's death squads have stalked Turkey since the 1960s, murdering left-wing and liberal activists, university students and journalists and engaging in street battles and attacks.

They gained international notoriety in 1981 when Mehmet Ali Agca, one of their collaborators, shot and nearly killed Pope John Paul II in St Peter's Square.
