Davutoglu has been [charged ](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/03/world/asia/suspect-in-bangkok-bombing-has-chinese-passport-thailand-says.html?%5Fr=0 "undefined")with possession of war materials without permission, but police have not elaborated on his alleged involvement. Twenty-six-year-old Wanna, a Muslim Thai national from the country’s southern Phang Nga province, is wanted by police because authorities say they have linked her to the apartment where bombmaking materials were allegedly found.
