A court in Thailand has convicted two Iranian men for their roles in an attempted bomb plot in the capital, Bangkok.


The men were detained after homemade explosives accidentally went off at the house where they were staying in February 2012.


One of the men had his legs blown off after he attempted to throw a bomb at police.


Both men have maintained their innocence of the charges.


Officials believe the incident, which came a day after two bomb attacks targeted Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia, was aimed at Israeli diplomats in Bangkok.
