| Four shot dead in southern Thailand |
| 2007-11-10 |
The 46-year-old deputy chairman of a local administrative body and his 20-year-old neighbour were shot dead in Narathiwat town, capital of Narathiwat province, Friday evening as they were talking in a front yard. A 45-year-old Muslim woman and her 25-year-old son were also gunned down on Friday evening as they were walking home after evening prayers at a local mosque in Bannang Sata district of neighbouring Yala province. And: A bomb went off in front of a train station in Yala province on Saturday morning, causing damage to an electric pole and a pick-up truck that parked nearby. There is no report of injuries. Initial investigation found that a five-kilogramme explosive, detonated by a clock, went off, with the aim to attack garbage collectors who take away garbage at the location daily. But the garbage truck came later than usual on Saturday. |
