A military court in Thailand has indicted two men for involvement in a deadly bomb attack at a shrine in the capital, Bangkok, in August.

Thai officials said on Tuesday that the two, identified as Bilal Mohammad and Mieraili Yusufu, were indicted on 10 charges over the bombing at the Erawan Hindu Shrine.

Officials say there was no religious or political motive for the attack and that the bombing was carried out as an act of revenge against Thai authorities, who had broken up a human-smuggling group.
