Bomb kills 1, injures 7 in southern Thailand
2012-03-05
One person died and seven others were wounded after a bomb exploded near a busy market in Tak Bai district, in Narathiwat province. The bomb tore through a roadside shelter where a 12-man patrol was resting about 10:30 a.m.

The explosion seriously injured boat driver Sanadi Doloh, who later died in the hospital. The bomb also injured four soldiers including the patrol commander and three civilians, one of whom was Malaysian.

Police investigators said the bomb, which weighed about 5 kg, was placed on the roof of the shelter and detonated by remote control.

In Pattani province, two men were gunned down in Thung Yang Daeng district. The gunmen planted fake bombs on the road leading to the crime scene to help their getaway. After giving the all clear, police found the bodies of two men, later identified as Suan Chansri and Somnuek Somdaeng, in a green pickup truck. Police suspect the incident is related to the ongoing jihad insurgency.
