The bomb exploded inside the Erawan Shrine, and another undetonated bomb was found near the complex, said Maj. Gen. Weerachon Sukhondhap - atipak, a spokesman for Thailand’s ruling junta. The shrine is a tourist land - mark also popular with Thais. Thai PBS television said at least 15 people were killed. Weerachon said dozens were injured, and that some foreigners were among the hurt.
