| 2007-04-27 |
| A 14-year-old boy and his grandmother were severely wounded on Friday when suspected insurgents blasted their stall selling rice puddings in Thailand's southernmost province of Narathiwat. The bomb, planted aside the stall in Narathiwat's Tak Bai district, exploded on Friday morning. The owner of the stall Lert Kongsamret, 68, and her grandson Chongchaikwan were critically injured and rushed to the Tak Bai hospital, the Bangkok Post newspaper reported on its website. Meanwhile, in nearby Yala Province, patrol soldiers narrowly escaped a bomb when their vehicle was speeding past a spot where insurgents hid the bomb. Local police said the vehicle was heading towards Ban Toh Bakae in Raman district when a bomb went off right after the vehicle passed a fire extinguisher tank hidden on a roadside. The blast produced a hole of 3-meter-wide and 1.50-meter-deep, but the vehicle was not damaged and nobody was injured. |
