Mr. Kanharith said that the plantings of the bombs were aimed at discouraging the people from attending the celebration of 7th January Day.
Critics said that the plantings of the bombs were not the works of opposition parties but were organised by the government to use as a pretext to arrest people who oppose the 7th January Day. Mr. Kanharith denied the allegations by saying that those who planted the bombs are people who are against peace. They are terrorists, he said.
On 2nd January, two bombs were found near the Ministry of Defence and TV3 station.
