People line up as they leave their slippers near a wanted poster for the main suspect of a deadly bomb blast in Bangkok, Thailand, put up by local authorities at Shwedagon pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar August 25, 2015. Police on Tuesday questioned a taxi driver who may have driven the main suspect away from the area of last week's deadly attack in Bangkok, as forensic experts struggle to unearth vital evidence in Thailand's worst ever bombing. Broken security cameras along the chief suspect's getaway route and a lack of sophisticated equipment has hampered the investigation into the Aug. 17 blast that killed 20 people, more than half of them foreigners. On Monday police said the trail had gone cold in the hunt for the bomber, and they were unsure if the main suspect was still in Thailand. Poster reads: "Suspect wanted in Bangkok bomb blast. Please contact this number if found." RETUERS/Soe Zeya Tun
