'No credible threat' of ISIS attack in Thailand
BANGKOK • Thailand's Interpol director has said there was "no credible threat" of an attack by suspected members of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), following a warning by the Russian intelligence service that 10 Syrians linked to ISIS had entered the country.
A document from Thai Special Branch police leaked to social media showed it had been warned by Russia's Federal Security Service that 10 Syrians linked to ISIS had entered Thailand between Oct 15 and Oct 31 to target Russian interests.
