Security services in Thailand have released images of a suspect they are seeking in connection with Monday night’s bombing at a popular shrine in Bangkok that has left at least 20 dead and over 100 injured.

A Thai motorbike taxi driver who believes he picked up the chief suspect in the bombing of Bangkok’s Erawan Shrine shortly after the blast said the man appeared calm and spoke an unfamiliar language on his cellphone.

The government said Monday evening’s attack at the popular Erawan shrine in the heart of Bangkok was aimed at wrecking the economy, which depends heavily on tourism.

A powerful bomb exploded outside a Hindu temple in Bangkok, killing at least 27 people.

Thai officials say the blast was targeting tourists, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility.
