Thai police found and defused a bomb on Monday, a week after an explosion killed 20 people in the country's worst-ever bomb attack, but it was not clear if the device found at a Bangkok construction site had anything to do with the earlier blast.

"We received reports this afternoon of a bomb in Sukhumvit 81," Kamthorn Aucharoen, commander of the police's explosive ordnance team, said, referring to a road off of one of Bangkok's main thoroughfares.
