However, according to reports, attempts to track down the bombers who fled the scene of the attack at the Erawan Shrine have been hampered by the fact that most of the CCTV cameras around the scene of the attack were not working.
The bombing left 20 dead and 120 injured. No group has yet claimed responsibility.
