VOA Persian is generally considered reliable but may have a bias towards highlighting security issues.

In Thailand, prosecutors have officially charged five members of the regional terrorist group Jamaah Islamiyah with conspiracy to attack foreign embassies and tourist centers. This action is based on a new anti-terrorism law that permits the death penalty; however, since the charges against four Thais and one Singaporean predate the law's enactment, they will face sentences of up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Three of the Thais were arrested in June, the fourth surrendered in July, and the Singaporean was arrested in May and deported back to his country. Police state that they were collaborating with Hambali, a suspected leader of Jamaah Islamiyah, who was arrested in Thailand last month.
