Hussein was quoted as saying he is "100 percent innocent" and that "much of the material the police found in my warehouse had been placed there, probably by the Israeli security service Mossad."
Thai police have said Hussein was storing the explosive materials in Bangkok before shipping them to another destination.
His arrest last week was linked to U.S. and Israeli warnings of a possible terror threat in Bangkok.

it is self explanatory is not it?
we must guess
It is no coincidence that Thailand is recognizing Palestine the moment that Hizbollah terrorist are discovered operating in Thailand. Sadly, it seems that Arab terrorist have intimidated Thai officials to do their bidding.
Mossad did this like they clandestinely re-stocked Hezbollah's weaponry warehouses south of the Litani after the last war there to then blame Nasrallah for violating UNSCR 1701.
Of course he's lying. it's the same as men who abuse their wives. Oh, I didnt hit her, her face hit my hand. I'm innocent!
I didn't doubt this was a false flag operation from the very beginning. It was too random and he was caught way to quickly to be an actual plot. Now, does this have something to do with Thailand's decision to recognize Palestine? Hmm...
The swedish muslims in Malmo are very violent. 62 people killed every year is not abnormal...above average for a city of that size.
It is possible MOSSAD planted the materials with the aims of creating discontent between Lebanon and Thailand and win support on its standoff with Hezbollah and Iran.
Actually the problem for the Mossad is that they have become too obvious. Perhaps if it was not Israel that supplied the "tip off" to the Thais it might not be so obvious.
Blam the Mossad, it never fails........or so it seems that what everyone else does. They seem to tbe the scapegoat for all.
If the man is just a normal business person having nothing to do with explosives or any other terrorist items then what is the motive to plant these things in his warehouse. It is a waste of time and money by the mossad while maybe some other person is actually planning an attack. Believe me if they arrested this man there is reason.
Muzzies and lefties are a threat to world peace.
The man is not svedish he was living in sveden for some time and aftyer 5 years aplied for citizenship on paper he got it but in heart he is an arab. gues he hates the way of ligfe in europe most of the swedes ares suspicious of this types
There was quite a lead-up to the arrest, like the 'intelligence' report warning of a planned terror attack. And now Thailand has recognized Palestine. Did Tom Clancy write the script?
today thailand recognized Palestine again.
Given that Thailand was about to recognize Palestine, this kind of false flag move sounds about right.
to put a wedge between Thailand and the Arab israeli conflict vis a visPre Thailand annoucement of recognizing palestine in the UNGA.
Curses for Mossad. Hardly a defense against a terrorism charge. I have a feeling that this Lebanese boy will be locked up for a long time.
LOL MOSSAD =FAIL
Israelis use police and justice systems in different countries to prosecute opponents of Israel. Any Israeli aligations should be checked first because the main goal of Mosad and Israel is just revenge to opponents. In case of false accusation agents should be imprisoned and sentenced
last week media report showed cia memos showing mossad and jundallah collaborated.
this is nothing new and we are all well informed of such acts
They wanted Britain to keep their troops in Egypt. A far cry from this scenario. It seems every time their is a spy incident the Israeli haters bring up the Lavon affair from 1954.
Anything is possible from Israeli terrorist state, from assassinating Iranian scientist to Palestinian in Dubai using British and other European passports to killing civilians.
