At least 27 killed in Bangkok bombing
At least 27 people, including four foreigners, have been killed and 80 injured after a bomb exploded outside a popular religious shrine in Bangkok.
Charred and shattered motorcycles littered the scene, along with broken glass. Images from a traffic camera show people dazed and injured - tripping over as they try to get to safety.
The Erawan is an enormously popular shrine to the Hindu god Brahma but is visited by thousands of Buddhist devotees every day.
It is located on a main road through Bangkok's commercial hub and is surrounded by three major shopping malls.
Police and ambulances rushed to the scene after the bomb went off around 7pm (1200 GMT) local time.
