Thai police say one of the suspects thought to be involved in last month's deadly bombing in Bangkok has admitted to possessing explosives.
Police spokesperson Prawut Thavornsiri.
"Police pressed charges according to the arrest warrant: possession of explosive devices which are not permitted. The suspect acknowledged the charges and admitted to it."
Yusufu Mieraili was arrested last weekend near Thailand's border with Cambodia carrying a Chinese passport.
The passport he was carrying lists his place of birth as Xinjiang.
However, it’s unclear if it's authentic.
A second suspect -- identified as Adem Karadag -- was arrested a week ago when police raided an apartment in the outskirts of Bangkok and found bomb-making materials.
Karadag has already been charged with possession of bomb-making materials, as well as holding dozens of fake Turkish passports.
However, authorities believe neither was physically involved in planting the bomb on August 17th at the Erawan Shrine that killed 20 people, including 7 Chinese nationals.
Thai police issued additional circulars on Monday.
They say they're looking for two foreign men of unknown nationalities believed to have stayed in the same apartment.
The motive behind the bombing remains unclear at this point.
