Authorities in Thailand say they are looking for accomplices of the suspect behind the Erawan Shrine bombing in Bangkok that killed 22 people Monday.
"These types of attacks are not usually planned by one person alone," said national police spokesman Prawut Thawornsiri. The suspect was captured on closed-circuit television dropping off a backpack by the shrine and walking away, Reuters reports. He has shaggy dark hair and was wearing a yellow T-shirt. Deputy police chief Jaktip Chaijinda said after looking at the footage, investigators "believe the man's physical appearance resembles more that of a foreigner than a Thai."
