(ABC News) Richard Esposito and Brian Ross - An Iranian hit squad used $27 portable radios to hide at least five bombs that Israeli and American authorities say they intended to use against Israeli targets in Bangkok, Thailand. Photos of one undetonated bomb, obtained by ABC News, show the inside of the radio packed with tiny ball bearings and six magnets. Bomb experts say the magnets indicate the bomb was designed to be stuck to the side of a vehicle. A surveillance photo of Iranian national Saeid Moradi shows him holding a radio in each hand. The bomb in the photos is strikingly similar to those used in other attacks last week on Israeli targets in the Republic of Georgia and India. "While there are small differences," said one U.S. expert, "they appear to be factory made."
