Thai police are searching for a man they believe to be connected to Monday's bombing near a shrine in Bangkok. 

The suspect was caught on CCTV footage near the shrine wearing a backpack. Then he was seen again later without the backpack.

On Tuesday there was a second explosion after an explosive was thrown from a bridge in Bangkok. No injuries were reported, and a connection between the two hasn't been established.

No one has claimed responsibility for either bombing. 

An analyst told the BBC terror networks usually do so, and said it's unlikely Muslim separatists are to blame as they've never attacked Thailand's capital.
