UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday condemned the bomb attacks in Thailand on Thursday and Friday, saying he "hopes the perpetrators of these crimes will be brought to justice expeditiously."
"The Secretary-General extends his condolences to the families of the victims and wishes those injured a speedy recovery," Farhan Haq, the deputy UN spokesman, said while reading a statement to reporters here. "He expresses his sympathies to the government and people of Thailand."
Five provinces in Thailand were hit by 11 bombings within 24 hours, reports said, adding that at least four Thai nationals were killed and about 36 others injured, including 10 foreigners.
No one has claimed responsibility for the blasts, and it is not clear if the bombings are connected, the reports added.
