Explosion Rocks Bangkok

By Douglas V. Gibbs
The Associated Press is reporting that an explosion of unknown cause has ripped through an area in Bangkok, Thailand, killing at least 12.  Authorities have confirmed the explosion was caused by a bomb, though the exact type of device has not yet been determined.  The blast occurred in a busy commercial hub, a site that has seen several political demonstrations in recent years. The bomb reportedly detonated in front of the Erawan shrine, a popular shrine to the Hindu god Brahma, where thousands of Buddhist devotees visit every day.
