BANGKOK: Police in northern Thailand have arrested a Thai man on charges of attempted arson for allegedly tossing a small firebomb at the US consulate in the city of Chiang Mai earlier this month, state media reported yesterday.
The 21-year-old student, identified only by the pseudonym “Pin”, was arrested after police said he confessed to throwing a gasoline-filled soft drink bottle with a lit fuse at the consulate on Nov 19, said the Thai News Agency or TNA.
