| 2006-07-29 |
| Police in Thailand's troubled deep South on Friday arrested two alleged militants who were suspected of planting a bomb targeting an convoy of justice and civil rights advocates during their field trip in Narathiwat Province on Thursday. In a joint operation, more than 70 police and soldiers raided houses in Narathiwat's Ra-ngae District early Friday morning and arrested the men inside their homes, the official Thai News Agency said. They were identified as Udeeman Samoh and Sapee-aree Jekho, both 21 years old. Police also confiscated an 11 mm pistol and six rounds of ammunition which were hastily buried during the raid. Police detained the two on suspicion of involvement in an attempted bombing at a bridge in Ra-ngae District Thursday. The bomb failed to harm a passing convoy of members of the Independent Commission on Justice and Civil Liberties for the Southern Border Provinces (ICJC). |
