“The company extends its thoughts and prayers to all involved and to their families and loved ones”, the company said in a statement.

North Atlantic Treaty Organisation confirmed that a suicide bomber who attacked one of its convoys as it traveled through a neighborhood in Afghanistan’s capital of Kabul Saturday killed 10 people, including three civilian contractors.

The police said in a statement that the bomb was probably “the work of at least 10 people and at least one month’s planning, with Thai people involved”.

Authorities are hunting for the man seen on a surveillance video putting a backpack under a bench in the shrine and then walking away shortly before the blast went off.

“We are also looking for other suspects in connection with the blast“, said national police spokesman Prawut Thawornsiri.

The deadly Bangkok bomb took over one month to plan and was executed by more than 10 people, the kingdom’s police chief said Thursday, as more details emerged of the suspected network behind an attack that killed 20 people.

On August 7, a Taliban assault on a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation army base close to Kabul’s worldwide airport killed an American soldier and eight Afghan contractors.

The pair got up from a bench at the Erawan shrine just before the suspected bomber sat down, later leaving his backpack behind.

An explosion has rocked the diplomatic area of the Afghan capital, Kabul, police have said, with at least three people killed and 18 injured.

Thai National Police Chief Somyot Poompanmoung said Wednesday the suspected bomber was likely acting as part of a network, but investigators have not yet established his motives or nationality.

But officials said the site had been sealed off and, as far as they knew, any contaminants were contained in that location. Eighteen firefighters remained missing, it said.

“I don’t suspect one person, I suspect many people“, police head Somyot Pumpanmuang said.

Four Chinese citizens are among the dead.

Police are now searching for a “foreign” man who was seen on CCTV footage leaving his backpack behind at the site of the explosion just minutes before it occurred.

But Army chief Udomdej Sitabutr said on television Wednesday that the attack “does not match with incidents in southern Thailand (and) the type of bomb used is also not in keeping with the south”.
