Bicycle bomb kills at least 15, injures 80 in central Bangkok shrine

Thai police are looking for another two or three bombs after a booby-trapped bicycle set off a large explosion Monday in a crowded shrine in the centre of the Thai capital, Bangkok.
The incident took place at Ratchaprasong, which is the name of an intersection and shopping centre in the Pathum Wan district of Bangkok. One of its major attractions is the Hindu Erawan shrine, which is attracting more tourists than any other temple in the city.
