Three bombs wound 9 in Thai Muslim south
Three bombs exploded in Thailand's restive Muslim south on Thursday, police said, wounding at least nine people in a region where more than 600 people have died in 17 months of violence. The first bomb went off around 7:30 a.m. at a food stall near a train station in Songkhla province, wounding three people. An hour later, a second blast outside the home of the provincial chief judge in Yala province wounded five police officers, police said. A third bomb hidden under a pickup truck parked near Yala's City Hall wounded a female passenger, a witness said. "The victim, a Yala health worker, looks seriously injured and was rushed to hospital," the witness said. The largely Malay-speaking southern region, where separatists fought low-key insurgencies in the 1970s and 1980s, has been rocked by almost daily blasts and killings since the violence erupted in January 2004. |
