Three Muslim teenagers with ‘marked’ city map detained

Security officials have detained three male Muslim teenagers for questioning following their arrest at a Bangkok amusement park with a map of the capital with 43 large public gathering spots and the Defence Ministry marked out.

However, the three Muslims, whose names were withheld, denied any involvement in subversive activities, military security sources said.

The teenagers, who were students at a Muslim ponoh school in the deep South, insisted the marked spots on their map, mostly tourist venues and shopping malls, were places they wanted to visit and they had nothing do with any sabotage plot. The Defence Ministry was also one of the 43 marked locations on the map.
