Bangkok bomb: Erawan shrine attacker 'is part of network', police say

Police have released a sketch of the main suspect, a man in a yellow T-shirt who was filmed by security cameras leaving a backpack at the shrine.

Police later said two other people seen on CCTV were being treated as suspects.

Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has described the incident as the worst-ever attack on Thailand.

The Hindu shrine, popular with tourists and Buddhists, reopened on Wednesday.

A reward of one million baht ($28,000; £17,950) has been offered for information leading to his arrest.

Mr Prawut also said that two other men seen in the grainy CCTV footage were being sought. "The person in red and the person in white are also suspects," he said.

The BBC's Steve Evans in Bangkok says the new information implies this may have been an organised international operation, perhaps with a religious motive.

The prime minister urged the main suspect to surrender to the police because he might otherwise "get killed to stop him from talking".
