“Arrests made in Thailand after explosives laid across Thai tourist hotspots,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, July 2, 2025:
Three major tourism provinces in Thailand have announced they are heightening their security measures after explosives were planted across tourism hotspots earlier this week, including one at Phuket International Airport.
Two men, identified only as 29-year-old Muhamah and 27-year-old Sulaiman by Thai media, were arrested in connection with the explosives at 11 sites. The men are currently understood to be part of Barisan Revolusi Nasional group, an Islamist separatist group.
CCTV footage allegedly revealed the pair planting the bombs from June 21 until June 23, with many not being defused until days later.
Three suspicious devices were destroyed in Phuket International Airport, Patong Beach, and Laem Phromthep from June 24 until June 26, according to Thai newspaper Khaosod. The devices were reportedly designed to only mimic the sound of an explosion to cause panic and were not loaded with any shrapnel to cause physical harm….

This is Islam as taught in Allah’s Quran. In Sahih Bukhari(V4,B52,N220), Muhammad says, “…I have been made victorious with terror…”. Allah in Quran 9:123 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], engage in war against the infidels[Non-Muslims] who are near to you. And let them find in you harshness, and know that Allah is with the fearer.”
Allah in Qur’an 3:151 says, “We will cast terror into the hearts of those who became infidels because they partner[other gods] with Allah which he did not send down with any sultan. And their abode is the fire, and evil is the place of the unjust.”

So-called percussion grenades can be very deadly, especially if one is in the blast radius. Shrapnel increased the lethal radius, but without shrapnel, percussion grenades can have a lethal radius of 10 feet or so.
