BANGKOK (AP) — Thai police say they are questioning three more Iranian citizens for possible links to an alleged bomb plot that was discovered in Bangkok on Valentine's Day.

National Police spokesman Maj. Gen. Piya Uthayo said that two men and one female were found Sunday during a search of an apartment building in the capital that had been rented by an Iranian woman who is also wanted in the case.

Piya said the three being questioned Monday had not yet been arrested.

Piya identified one of three as 33-year-old Madani Seyed Mehrded and said he had been in contact with other detained suspects, including an Iranian man who blew his legs off by mistake as he fled police Feb. 14.
