A Thai court on Wednesday issued an arrest warrant for the prime suspect in the deadly Bangkok shrine bombing, Reuters reported.

 

Police described the individual as an unnamed foreign man shortly after police released a sketch of him.

 

The warrant, issued by Bangkok's Southern Criminal Court, accuses an "unnamed foreigner of premeditated murder, attempted murder and bomb-making" over the blast that killed 20 people and wounded scores more on Monday at a famous Bangkok temple.

 

The sketch of a bespectacled, apparently young man with light stubble and a full head of hair, was published on Wednesday afternoon based on security camera footage taken around the blast site that has been widely shared.
