BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Thai bomb blast aftermath

August 18, 2015 Reprints

A bomb blast has hit a popular tourist attraction in Thailand's Bangkok city, the Bangkok Post reported.

The Royal Thai Police office said that the explosion has claimed 19 lives.

The blast happened inside the Erawan shrine complex at Bangkok's Ratchaprasong intersection.

"It was clear that the perpetrators intended to destroy the economy and tourism, because it occurred in the heart of (Bangkok's) business district," said Prawit Wongsuwan, Thailand's Defense Minister.
