BANGKOK: So far, at least six theories have emerged in the aftermath of the deadly bombing at Bangkok’s Erawan Shrine, which left up to 20 dead and injured over a hundred others.

The theories range from the Uighur minority from the west of China, Islamic terrorists, the anti-government red shirts to separatists from the South and the military junta itself.
