Thai police say the identification process of the second suspect thought to be involved in the Bangkok bombing last month is making progress.
Lieutenant General Prawuth Thavornsiri, spokesman of the Thai National Police, says the suspect's finger prints match those found on a bottle containing explosives.
"Today, the fingerprint result from forensic police can confirm that the man has his fingerprints on a bottle containing an explosive substance found in room number 414 at Poon-Anan apartment. So we can confirm that the man is involved in explosive materials, he could have brought the bomb out of this room or he could have brought the bomb to the crime scene."
Thai authorities arrested the second suspect at the Thailand-Cambodia border on Tuesday. The police spokesman has labeled the foreign national "a main suspect." Another foreign national was arrested in Bangkok on Saturday.
Thai authorities say bomb-making materials and over 200 forged passports were found at the apartment where the first suspect was detained.
Police also raided another apartment on Sunday, where they found more bomb-making materials.
Thailand has so far issued 7 arrest warrants related to the deadly attack at Bangkok's Erawan shrine. The August 17th attack left 20 people dead, including 7 Chinese.
More than 120 people were injured in the attack.
