Police in Thailand investigating yesterday’s bomb blasts in Bangkok arrested two Iranians and were searching for two additional suspects as Iran rejected allegations by Israel that it sponsored that attack, as well as others around the globe.

Two men with Iranian passports are in custody and evidence shows that they aimed to target individuals, rather than groups, according to Wichien Potephosree, secretary-general of the Thai National Security Council. The suspects planned to assassinate Israeli diplomats, Agence France-Presse reported, citing a Thai intelligence official it didn’t identify.
