Bangkok bombing suspect arrested in Malaysia

Thai officials identified the third suspect as Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, and officials in Malaysia said he was arrested there Wednesday.

Malaysia federal police spokesman Ramli Yoosuf said Sadaghatzadeh was being investigated for terrorism-related activities linked to the Bangkok blasts, but could not say whether he would be extradited to Thailand.

At least five bombs were identified in Bangkok. The first blew off the roof of the men's house, and Moradi detonated two others — one against a taxi when its driver refused to give him a ride, and another as he tried to fend off police. The taxi driver and three other Thais were wounded in the taxi blast.

When police searched the men's house, a bomb squad found and defused two explosives, each made of three or four pounds of C-4 explosives inside a pair of radios.
