Midday Roundup: Thai officials search for suspect in Bangkok attack

Man in yellow. Officials in Thailand are looking for a suspect in yesterday’s massive bombing in Bangkok that killed 22 and wounded 120 others. Closed circuit security camera footage captured images of a shaggy-haired man in a bright yellow T-shirt leaving a backpack at a popular Hindu temple in the capital. As he walks away, the man can be seen carrying what looks like a cell phone. The video was taken about 20 minutes before the bomb went off, during rush hour. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, so far. But officials believe the bomb’s placement, near a large shopping mall that attracts tourists, could be an attempt to damage the country’s economy. Another explosion on Tuesday at a pier on the Chao Praya River sent visitors and residents running. But that blast caused no injuries, according to police.

Female fighters. Two women will graduate from the U.S. Army’s grueling Ranger School this week, the first female soldiers to make it through the physically demanding course. The women are part of the first group of female soldiers allowed to participate in the program, part of the Army’s attempt to determine whether women can join the front lines in combat roles. The Pentagon has ordered all military positions be open to women, starting next year. The services can request exceptions for some jobs but will have to offer exhaustive proof that women cannot fill those roles. Nineteen women passed the rigorous test to begin Ranger School in April, but only two completed the program, which required them to endure demanding physical activity on little food and sleep. They had to carry more than 100 pounds of gear through a variety of terrain.

No survivors. Search teams in Indonesia have located the crash site of a Trigana Air Service flight, which went down in bad weather on Sunday. None of the plane’s 54 passengers and crew survived the accident. Searchers recovered the plane’s black boxes, which should help explain what caused the crash. They also recovered at least some of the $470,000 in cash the plane was carrying to remote villages. Crews have been unable to move any bodies so far because of thick fog in the area, where the mountainous terrain is complicating recovery efforts.

Second chance? Lawyers for convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have filed their first appeal in his case, requesting a new trial in a different location. Echoing arguments made before the trial began, Tsarnaev’s lawyers said the media coverage and heightened emotions surrounding the attack made it impossible for the 22-year-old to get a fair trial. A jury convicted Tsarnaev and sentenced him to death for his role in the bombing that killed three people and injured 264 others. “A new trial in a different venue is required due to continuous and unrelenting publicity combined with pervasive connections between jurors and the events surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing that precluded impartial adjudication in both appearance and fact,” the lawyers wrote in their filing.

Server secrets. The number of potentially troubling messages on Hillary Clinton’s private email server continues to rise. The State Department now says hundreds of Clinton emails might contain classified information. That report comes after reviewing just 20 percent of the messages. Confirmed classified information has been found in at least 63 Clinton emails so far. Most may have been low level, but an intelligence community inspector general found top secret information among her emails. And it is not yet known what information was contained in the emails Clinton did not turn over. The former secretary of state and current Democratic presidential hopeful insists the emails she erased from her private server were strictly personal in nature. The FBI currently is inspecting that server. Clinton, meanwhile, is attempting to laugh off the scandal with jokes about her new SnapChat account: “I love it. I love it,” she told supporters in Iowa over the weekend. “Those messages disappear all by themselves.”
