A bomb exploded in Bangkok early on Friday, seriously wounding a man and stoking fears of civil unrest following a deadly blast five days ago and violent anti-government protests in April and May.
Police said a grenade tied with an oiled rubber band and wrapped in a garbage bag exploded at about 2am (7am NZT) in an alley near Victory Monument, an area usually choked with traffic and surrounded by government buildings.
