New York, Aug 18 (IBNS): United Nations Secretary-General ban Ki-moon was shocked to learn of an explosion on Monday close to a shrine in the centre of Thailand's capital, Bangkok, which caused the loss of life of innocent civilians.

“[The Secretary-General] expresses his condolences to the bereaved families and to the people and Government of Thailand, and wishes those injured a quick recovery,” said a statement attributable to a UN spokesperson.
