BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai police arrested a second foreign suspect in the country's deadliest bombing on Tuesday and said they believed he played an important role, but could not confirm he was the man seen in a yellow T-shirt leaving a backpack at the scene of the blast.
The Aug. 17 explosion ripped through a Hindu shrine in the Thai capital, killing 20 people and injuring more than 100. Fourteen foreigners were among those who died in the attack, which the military government said was aimed at an already ailing economy.
