Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung said Thai authorities received a tip-off before New Year's of a planned attack, which was said to target Israelis.

The message said that "foreign terrorists may be currently looking to conduct attacks against tourist areas in Bangkok in the near future." It urged Americans to "keep a low profile" in public and to exercise caution in areas where Western tourists gather.

Ambassador Kristie Kenney told the AP the threat was "real and very credible."

Now here is the thing...

The entire story is sensationalized, and even quotes itself as saying,

Chalerm said the danger has passed.

"I want to confirm and I am confident that we have the situation under control. And I can guarantee … no terrorist attacks will be allowed to take place. If they have disagreement, (they should) go fight somewhere else."

Here is the kicker... Amid all the fear-mongering in this article is this little snippet,

"Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim militant group, is the most potent military force in Lebanon, far stronger than even the national army. It is backed mainly by Iran and Syria."

So after this whole article...

They just had to add in the names "Iran and Syria".

I will leave you to form your own opinions...
