| A member of a municipal council was wounded by a motorcycle bomb that exploded in Sisakhon district of Narathiwat on Thursday morning. Pol Lt Sirak Boonyak, duty officer at Sisakhon district police station, said the attack occurred about 10am in front of a grocery shop about 80 metres from the district office. Chaichana Kongchamnan, 40, the shop owner, told police he saw a young man park a motorcycle in front of his shop and walk away. A bomb hidden in the motorcycle exploded after six soldiers of Narathiwat Task Force 37 arrived on three motorcycles and walked into the shop to buy newspapers. He believed the bomb was remotely detonated. The explosion seriously injured Abdul Suko, a member of the municipal council from tambon Sisakhon, who was eating in another shop on the other side of the road. The six soldiers, the likely targets, were not hurt in the explosion. |
