Thai, Turkish officials differ on bomber

BANGKOK — A key suspect in last month’s bombing at a Bangkok shrine that killed 20 people has fled to Turkey, Thai police said Monday, in another indication that the attack could be the work of members of China’s ethnic Uighur minority who have sympathizers in Turkey.

But a senior Turkish government official denied that the man had escaped to the country.

“There is no record of the suspect having entered Turkey,” the official said.
